Just had a new water pump fitted to my 01 1.8 tddi, now after paying £110 for that, I've been told the top hose to injector pump has two holes in it which need sorting asap. been quoted 20-30 quid for hose which apparently is main dealer only, then another 60+ quid for fitting. question is, is this a easy/hard job to do myself or a real swine to do and best left to garage. Thanks for any help

    Okay, all sorted. Turns out it was the big water hose to the thermostat that was leaking, clever mechanic :rolleyes: hose from Ford £10, removed and replaced myself, with lots of cuts and swearing, in only 4 hours :D
