Have edited out the offending posts as they've made there point and run there course. I was very tempted to remove the whole thread but figure that any good publicity is a good thing for the club, the event and the attendees. Personally i dont care how we got there ...but we got there Safe journeys folks ...looks like its brightening up for the weekend.

Possibly the little bypass hose from water pump to the cylinder head and then running down the block or even could simply be a leaking hose

had another look with better light and it may be a trick of the water beading down from the pump area but still not 100% sure were its coming from. too dark in the garage now,will have too have a proper look outside tomorrow afternoon. is this what they mean by sods law?

Dont worry dave,Its supposed to have a hole in it(semi circular slit) If the waters coming out of the hole it means the seal in the water pump has failed,if its not coming from the hole but round the pump body its probably the by pass hose,water pump gasket,top hose etc

Will be checking over the daily driver vx/badFORD tomorrow ready for the drive to Gaydon. At least I will be able to sign on in body and spirit even if not in a Mk III. I went to an Mk III event at the museum's old location in Syon Park years ago. Does anybody recall the year?
