Itchyfeet, you got that right! We had a new coolant pump professionally fitted a few months ago. Since then I've tweaked everything apart from the joints of the hard plastic pipes and the hoses to and from the engine.
I now know the bottom of the van better than I know the top - I guess that's a common experience

Yep, I don't trust the Febi one I bought - it doesn't seem to seal on the filler neck properly. So I've ordered a Blau from Brickwerks. Hopefuly, soon my office colleagues won't have to wonder "why's that lunatic looking under his van again??"
