Today, the 745 I bought a couple of weeks ago has been reanimated.

I bought it non-running, with a blown water pump. Today was the big day, I put in new pump, thermostat and hoses and washed the engine a bit.

The good:
It runs, it drives, the heat works and there are no leaks.

The bad:
CEL is on, oil trap leaks because of a broken tube

Once again, my mind is boggled by the actions of previous owners and/or their mechanics. The pump has been replaced in the past, as it was a GMB pump and had some silicone slop. The thermostat was original and broken in half. A vacuum hose was split around the nipple and was held on with a zip tie.

Oh, well. That's fixed now. Now, on to CEL and belts...
