Ok so the journey continues with my new Jag...

The mechanic is giving it a complete going over. So far just about all good news...I am replacing all the drive belts, fluids, compression check was excellent, it runs super smooth...I was fearful the radiator might have a slight leak...nope...tight...BUT he has located a leak in the water-pump so I need a new one as I want the cooling system to 100% perfect if not better

The pump isn't too much but I hear its about 5 hours labor? joy

Brakes look good (thank goodness the rear brakes were just recently done as it sounds like that is a joy!) and everything else seems to check out real tight. SO just waiting on WP and install...getting tags and hopfully couple weeks into Dec I will be reporting my first road test drive !!

 

Super!

 

Changing the waterpump can be a PITA, there is a very large countersunk pozzi screw that in my case required an impact driver to remove.
