Default Speedo Rotor & Engine coolant leak

Hi & Happy New Year to all.

First question is how much is a replacement speedo rotor in the UK? My speedo isn't working and needs a replacement rotor. Just want to compare UK prices with NZ.

Secondly, my SV is leaking a small amount of engine coolant near the drain plug. The actual leak is coming from behind the casing and not from the bolts or drain plug. I have tightened all the bolts and replaced the washer from the drain bolt but coolant still dribbles down from behind the casing. Any suggestions????

Thanks

Hi there, if it's leaking from behind the water pump casing, then it probably needs new o-rings between the clutch casing and water pump. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to take the whole clutch casing off. There's a gasket and a set of o-rings in there, and it could be either leaking, but I reckon it'll be the o-rings. What caused it in mine was a water pump bolt shearing- even when replaced and torqued up it never stopped leaking, so the same could probably happen with a loose bolt. I'd want to be sure that was what was causing the leak before I pulled it all apart though, could it be a loose or damaged hose?
