Hi all
My name is Islam and have not long purchased a series 3 convertible e type.
My first venture into classics and owners club so may well be pestering those with knowledge as I am pretty nervous about tackling any work on the car as I seem to have 10 thumbs
But now seems as good a time to start
There appears to be a leak from the coolant pump but I am not sure if it needs refurbished or replaced( if there are new ones kicking about as I seem to be struggling to locate a replacement. Anyone help please!!
Islam

Thanks Steve
I think hoses are fine , seems to be coming from the pump itself so a good wee scrutinising is in order :thankyouyellow:

Welcome to the forum, Islam. No better time than now and no better place than here for the info you need to DIY. The best way to learn your car is to do your own work on it. Go for it! :hammerdrill:
