Re: What's leaking ?

Noticed a small drip now from the nut that's above the hydraulic hose nut. Just tighten it ? I know it's an obvious question just that I'm very new to vehicle repairs :-) I don't own a reasonable set of spanners , what's an ok set to go for that will get me through a master change if I have to ? Tha...

Re: What's leaking ?

Can anyone tell me what's the easiest and cheapest option for a DIY (with a Haynes manual) non mechanic fix, replace hoses first as it's a cheaper start if the leak isn't obvious ?

Re: What's leaking ?

Water pump noise ?

What sort of noise Should the pump make when you turn the tap ?

Silent
Purr
Or quiet thump thump thump which speeds up the more you turn tap (which you guessed it ... Mine does )

Thanks
