Im struggling to find something so i can take another feed off mine to the wastegate.

Sorry what vacuum are you talking about. I don't have any vacuum lines going to intercooler. The waste gate is connected directly to the inlet plenum.

I belive the fuel was old. It's been sat in the tank for 6 months. Once it has sprayed enough the pipes had cleaned out and it started

That pipe is just plugged, it came on the intercooler pipe when i bought it from Bob. Its just blanked off.


Got an issue with the engine its leaking fluid from the waterpump area, its not from the bolt but from either a hairline crack or the seal. What should i do about this, any easy fixes for it.

its even pouring out fluid with the engine off.

new water pump.
get an ADL blueprint one ( ADN19141 ) as not too expensive (£40 from friendly autofactors) & comes with a gasket which makes fitting with engine in car far far easier :-S over mucking about with gasket sealant, just use supplied gasket smeared very lightly with grease .

On the water pump theres a small hole in them that pisses water out if the engine is left standing for a long time. I have seen it a few times.
I guess theres a seal inside that drys out???

How do I get around this. Do I need to replace it.

Is it difficult to change, i know its just a few bolts so that wont be a problem but access to it will be the most annoying. Wish i had changed it when it was out of the car.

Never mind, always make things more difficult for my self.

^ no it won't joe.
Just pick up a new ADL ADN19141 at best price you can get. don't mess with used pumps as even good used pump left shelved go bad & are a risk. new is not expensive . Once you fitted one you will realize half reason you don't want risk doing it again over 10-£20, other half of the reason is you don't want possible hassle of a leaky pump causing heating issues & damaging engine ...

I wouldnt even skimp on a pattern part, important part of the car why risk it, just to save 30 quid.

Can imagine it being a right pain insitu but should be do able once the engine mount and maybe power steering pipes are out the way

^ ADL pump is same quality jap made pump you get from nissan, just a different box, better price & generally quicker sourced, plus you get a gasket which I much prefer for fitting when engine in car ...
