I've collected mine 3 days ago. Love it. Think the list was just under £50k. Don't know why I have B&O as so far I did not turn the radio on

Hi Yang...welcome to the Forum! Not sure what engine you have in your car as there are several different timing belt arrangements depending on the engine. I would imagine that if the timing belt drives the waterpump and the pump was replaced without replacing the cambelt and tensioners (unless they were relatively new at the time) then that was mistake number 1. Generally at 62000 miles/8 years on the original timing belt, if replacing the waterpump (assuming it is part of the cambelt arrangement) you would also replace the belt and tensioner due to the age/mileage...a false economy not to! Also, as parts have been disturbed during the stripdown/rebuild, then this can also lead to premature failure through slightly re-aligned components, belt tension (old belt), etc. Good luck with your quest...let us know how you get on with it. Cheers Trevor
