Groan!

Test drive, taking the kids to school in the morning.

Overtemp light on with low coolant. Topped up the coolant as the system rid itself of all air bubbles. All good, except I noticed a leak at the heater spigot going into the water pump. Trying to tighten it yielded (literally) this...

D'oh!

The casting around the spigot just crumbled... a bad casting in the brand new water pump. Great!

Looks like the old pump goes back on and I see if I can get my $'s back from Rare Spares <sigh>.
