Ford Escort 1.8L (L reg )
I've got to replace the water pump on this car (very slow leak) and wondered what type of job it is .I'm quite handy around cars and have changed pumps on varous cars,but think that this one might possibly involve taking the cam belt off etc ??.
Any help would be great .Thanks

For extra protection, mark the belt and pulleys with chalk ensuring it goes back in the exact position (unless of course you are replacing the belt whilst at it which isnt a bad idea).
