have a look in the radiator, if there the level in there is fine (down around 1-2cm) then just top it up with distilled water and the same with the over flow tank.

Yeah pretty sure the radiator is fairly full as I only checked the coolant a month or so ago and the overflow bottle still had something in it, just over the last few weeks it must have used the rest up.

So don't even top up the overflow with coolant, just use water?

I gave them a call there open till 4.00

I got a note on my font door saying that they try'd to deliver something to me today, i think it might of been my new Brake pads :D so i have to go pick it up after 2. i didn't know they delivered on Saturday's.

You can top it up with coolant if your 100% sure that you have the same brand and make of coolant that is already in the engine. If you mix active ingredients there is a chance that they can react and will turn to jelly, which isn't a good thing the have in your water jackets. Water is a safe option if your not sure since you are going to be changing it soon.

Thanks mate.

EDIT- If it just so happens to turn to jelly, what would I do about it? Just flush the radiator?

i missed pendulum to see lupe, was still amazing but yeh prodigy was insane, like 15,000 people all going nuts when the bassline hit for smack my bitch up

+1 eye candy.

pendulum were good.

but I thought prodigy were kinda average to be honest.

They talked way too much shit instead of letting their good tunes do the work.

Some of the nice sounds and basslines were spoilt because of the stupid screaming etc they were doing.

good day out tho... :P

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
