Big thanks to Timbuk (again), he came round earlier & helped change my waterpump :y............ err, well OK he changed my waterpump with a bit of hindrance from me!!
The bad news is that the rattle is still there but nowhere near as bad (the waterpump was definitely on it's way out).
The good news is that without the pump making a noise we think we've narrowed the rattle down to the aux belt tensioner, so that'll be changed soon.

I seem to recall there was a little play in your pump when we did cambelt?
-
I thought you lubed it when we did the cambelt? Oh well. ::)
I talked to timbuk. You getting the door and the cam cover gaskets lined up for next weekend? I don't have the small torque wrench.

Well done to timbuk and bo bo

Yes there was & it made a noise when we turned it by hand when we'd got it out, b**dy car's still rattling when cold though!

Yes I did, but the new belt's so tight we think it's putting pressure on the tensioner,

In theory the tension shouldn't change much. More likely changed the focus of the pressure on the inner bearing race, was worn to the old position.

Probably right, we tried Matchless's test with a screwdriver & we're pretty sure it's the tensioner....

I have a couple of options with the door, hopefully get it sorted this week & I should have said yesterday; thanks for the loan of your tools, Timbuk has them as I believe you're meeting up later this week :o

No probs on the tools. Less to haul around in the trunk ;)
I may fiddle with my HID motor this weekend, other than that no real plans to work on the Omega until spring. OK, maybe I should wash it for the first time ::) ;D
