So is that the second engine that's in now, or the first one again ? And with a new water pump, right ?

Well done mate looks really good and amazing seeing the before and after pictures of removal and fitting, it is a credit to you and a great skill :thumbup1: like the turbo heatshield too, should help keep the temp down round the radiator.
