Managed to fix the lack of lights, traced it to the foglight fuse popped and took out both sidelight circuits.
Next problem, water leak that i cant trace, however does seem to be dripping from oil filter.
Is this likely to be the water pump?
 
According to the paperwork with the car, was replaced 18 months ago. ?????
 
The pump itself is likely ok. I had a right pain sealing mine. Took multiple attempts and I have learnt that hylomar is no good!

I just used some sump sealant and it's been perfect since.
 
Just had another go at the car.
All good for a few minutes, then drip drip.
Under car, dripping off oil filter, looked up and small drops of water coming out front of where water pump seals to block.
Reseal or new pump needed?

For the amount of money the parts would cost, I'd be inclined to change the pump and belts since you're taking the pump off anyway.

Just in case they missed it.. ;)

You have 3 common leak paths:

Pump itself - imp. Shaft

Steel coolant tube to pump joint

Pump casing to engine block.


If you fit a new pump.. you may kill 2 birds.. as they say.. :)
