Description

Vauxhall 1.8 SRI petrol hatchback in blue MOT till September 83500 miles. Less than 1,000 miles since new clutch kit, £800 and recent exhaust front flexi pipe £120.
This has been my car since October 2023 in which time its covered about 6,000 miles with no problems until the clutch required replacement earlier this year.

However, on a very hot day recently the temperature warning light came on and I noticed the reservoir had lost coolant so I called the AA. The mechanic wasn't sure but he suspected the water pump to be at fault. There is no leak, no noise or movement from it but apparently the internal impellor can come loose from its shaft and they fail that way. Also note there is no sign of water in the oil. The car starts and runs just as well as it always has and if it wan't for the warning light I would have been none the wiser but the AA mechanic said firmly it must not be driven as it is as it will overheat again very quickly and this could wreck the engine.
Its got some paint peel on the tail gate and the odd scuff here and there but not bad for an 08 car and the mileage is quite low too. Its also boringly original with no aftermarket extras with its original parcel shelf, rear cup holders and even a working CD stereo radio just as Vauxhall made it.

***To re-iterate the water pump diagnosis is only a theory so don't buy it unless you can get it fixed. This would ideally suit a DIY mechanic but remember it will require towing away!***
The car is in Northwich, Cheshire.
