Who's this then?

Made a 280 mile round trip today to get these most helpful fellas to change a leaking coolant pump on my V6. Except having stripped everything down they found it wasn't - a mistake by my normally reliable garage. However it was an instructive morning, the timing belt was found to be out by a tooth and I saw parts of the engine I'd never seen before. Don't know what the moral is, except that running old cars is not for the faint-hearted.

Don’t keep us in suspense, tell us what the water was coming from. Please.

And who are those two "Fella,s"

I think I know them but not sure.

You have to watch those two at work, a well "oiled machine" working in complete harmony.

Lates & Pete! Amazing mechanics who know "our" cars inside and out. Always a treat to watch these two at work.
