That would be perfect, I was just wondering if this was the wrong part how would I go about returning it to you? And how is best to sort payment for this?

Payment is straight forward via PayPal.

Returns are more difficult. If it's faulty then no problem. If it's ok, just ordered wrongly, then it's more difficult to be honest. I have sold one other in the years I have traded so it's not a high volume part. Had it been high volume then it would be no problem.

I would have a £30 restocking fee.

Ah perfect, do you accept PayPal credit out of interest? If not its no problem.

Ah I see, it's just that I've already purchased the wrong part once and want to avoid doing it again! Haha. So I just want to be certain I'm getting the correct part that's all. I've taken some pictures that I could send to you if that would make it easier to identify? I'm fairly mechanically inclined but I'm not a mechanic. And I can describe it quite well too.

If you're standing in front of it, opened the bonnet, left side of the block, above the alternator, behind the water pump (I belive), there's a rubber hose that goes up then back towards the rear of the car, the rubber hose is connected to a small metal pipe, that metal pipe has a pinhole in it. The other side of this piece has a rubber hose leading to the throttle body (which has 2 pipes going into it) it's the pipe on the bottom that goes to the thermostat housing at the rear I belive, so this leads me to think it's the front? Part of the thermostat housing.

I hope that all makes sense. And if it does and I have the cited that part number as the correct piece then I definitely want to get it sent off as soon as possible.

Thanks a bunch again,

Cal

Is it possible more like this?

THIS IS NOT THE PART, ITS FROM A DIFFERENT ENGINE

Similar, these are the photos I took before I took it to the garage, it's hard to describe without my car here. I marked the pipe that had the leak with the red zip tie.

The 3rd picture of the throttle body I took because I wanted to be able to remind myself where it was, it comes from the pipe on the bottom goes into what I belive is the thermostat and on the OTHER side of the thermostat is where the pinhole is

Hope that is clearer.
