I've already got a derv as a daily! Lol
Had a bit of a problem last night. Bolted the head back on (new deals are much better fit and seem to be much tighter. Old ones look nothing like the Peugeot ones lol) and the bolt in top left wouldnt torque up properly. Next thing, the water pump is seized. Removed the water pump to find a bolt has broken through into the water pump housing
Don't know what's happened yet as its not the head bolt. Only thing I can think of is a bolt has dropped down the bolt hole whilst I had the head off.
Thankfully, I found a cut through diagram of the block and it doesn't go through any water or oil ways so I'm going I have a proper look tonight and see if it can be left as is (hopefully the head bolt sits just above the new hole). If its bad news, I've just found a entire engine in Hendon for 150 quid.
