Its the breather pipe for the battery, should run along the side of the battery tray somewhere.
Dont worry about it too much thought, some batteries dont have it.
Yeah its the Same mate, water pump started leaking about 2 weeks ago aswell.
I'd always put a water pump on when the cambelts being done, hardly worth stripping it all out again a few weeks later if it starts getting noisey.
Doing it in a fortnight need to borrow the timing pins from work
Have you tried putting it in gear and you and your mate rocking it forward/backwards?
When you actually going to get the starter from a scrappy, hit it really hard with the hammer - if your getting a new one it can't hurt if it works.
Did you check the length of the 'pusher' on the new switch against the old one?
You can get electrical terminal cleaner, or try some brake cleaner and a small pick to clean the terminals
Yeah theres just the one bleed on them, its at the front, at the top of the rad. Try bleeding it again, using a hose pipe so you can clearly see when its coolant coming out not water. Turn the heater on in the car to full temp.
Check the temp sensor wiring nots knackered, cleaned the terminals...
Shouldn't need to replace them for years, my brothers RT has about 100k on the clock and the original rear shoes are only about 20% worn.
Matt - they wont need replacing after 20k mate, more like 120k
*Edit* You should check em around every 36k, and while your at it give them a good clean...
Just the two on the Left should have nuts in.
They're 10mm or 13mm nuts. You'll need a long socket, and put it in then put the ratchet on them they're pretty arkward
You tried wiggling the 4 relays in the passenger footwell, up behind the glovebox, can't remember if ones for the washers/wipers by they get kicked by passengers/fall out quite often
Most likely your water pumps carked it, usually go around the time the cambelts due.
If you can see the area, look for little 'crystals' below the pump/belt area
You'll put it all back together and chances are it'll start to rattle sooner or later (like a bearing they are - if that makes sense) best to change them when the belts off.
