well after mondays problems with the car i got it into work tuesday and tried to find out what was up with it, fount out it was the water pumps bearings wearing away so it needed changing......so today got into work nice and early and was able to use a ramp and some tools...
striped it all down..removed acces belt , cam belt kit, tensioner, and the plastic covers and the water pump, the pump it self had a lot of movement in it so time for a new one...also replaced the cam belt and accesory belt

wish I could get a cheap set of post '97 colour coded for mine.
though Im a perfectionist with not a lot of money so I'd get pissed of knowing they wern't going to be the same shade of red.
