Managed to speak to Martin, who reckons the crank pulley may be loose!
On that theory I thought to myself, so if I slacken the fan belt, it should go quieter ....and it does, so will let it cool down and go and take the radiater off and see if I can tighten it
fingers crossed everyone...................

He's taken rad off and the crank pulley seems ok anything else he should try before rad goes back on

was the knocking there before the water leak?if not cant see any reason why thecrank pulley would be knocking
is the fan on properly and all 4 bolts tight?
is there water in the engine?
is the alternator tightly fitted on its slide allowimg about 19mm of play in the fan belt
if all else fails call the aa if you have home start

just let her warm up on tickover umtil the temp gauge is in the middle,that means the thermostat should be open and water circulating around the engine,if its not leaking then it should be fine.let her cool down and then refill the rad with more water/
then give her a few miles taking some water with you just in case.not toofar about 5/6 miles just to get her warm.then let her cool again and recheck the water
if alls well then its mended!!!

Thats what i think it was, but i wasn't here and Colin said it wasn't that type of knocking [?]... Took Colin twice as long as me just to change the pump lol, and she wouldn't start for him 1st time last week, but she did for me lol, thought that was funny
Cazz...Is smiling again!!!!!

Unless it's just the fan blades flexing in your manly grasp : )

Yes all washers went back. It feels more like the play is actually on the shaft of the water pump, as I say its minimal

Trev. That was the problem with Smurf. you hit the nail on the head!
The olay was minimal and on tightening the bolts I actually squashed the fan,bent it a bit
I was careful to only tighyen th bolts a half a turn at a time and oppsite bolts to each other. It hasn't mis-shapen the fan and it still spins freely so hopefully will be ok
