got my car in the garage after spending all early morning emptying rubbish into skip, cleaned garage floor then it took 7 of us to reverse car up a slight slope into a garage. after putting gearbox away securely i noticed something.............. something is perhaps missing from side of Gearbox. pictures below taken from phone; anybody know what part this may be?

anyway to test if waterpump is fine?
it does run but as i left it off road for a while i prefer not to mess about starting it and stopping it. ALso due to a Turbo water pipe feed leaking i prefer not to take any chances until most things are changed. I have on order.. silicone piping to change all pipes i see and enough for Water bypass, Lower and upper Injector o-rings (will test injectors) Gaskets for Plenum, gaskets for throttle bodies, another gasket for something else (forgot) Vac pipe kit, New Thermostat, viscous fan. also looking to get PCV valves and bypass AIV, bypass EGR. then everntually New loom.......... once most of the above are fitted and gearbox changed to manual then i will start her up *back to your question.......... technically then,,, its not running as such

anyway to test if waterpump is fine?
unfortunatly i didnt get much help on that subject as their was another zed there having loads of money spent and i personally felt like he didnt have the time or patience and that my car was "in the way" other than that i will try to have a look at what is broken... maybe when im taking it out i could get in contact with forum again and see what you lot think? is there any other way of testing sensor with engine off?

Anyone got a Cannon EOS Digital SLR ?
i don't have a canon but i have a Nikon D90 and i must say to be honest you don't really want to use the screen than for lazy photos otherwise you may aswell buy a normal flash lcd camera. The viewfinder does help make steadier pictures and only really use screen for seeing what my pictures came out like. All the settings you select will show at the bottom of the screen in the viewfinder anyway. i always use manual zoom however my wife likes to flick it into motor zoom as she is just a casual and regular user. i do agree it would be a nifty feature... havnt found out yet (as you are also aware these things have millions of options) but my wife would definatly use the screen for taking pictures as she is less worried about perfections But good luck with your camera and i hope you enjoy it, we enjoy taking walks and taking random scenic pictures now and have just ordered my macro lens :p lets us know if you find the settings :) Damien

garage light of similar?
i went to screw fix today and asked them what i needed as there were so many things and they said "dunno" which doesn't help. i think at this rate i will buy a site light and hang it from the beam! :( once i find out what parts i need ill give it another go, any ideas as? would one or two of these be enough? cant see them being bright enough for night time engine work http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9293534&fh_view_size=10&fh_location=//catalog01/en_GB&fh_search=flourescent&fh_eds=%C3%9F&fh_refview=search&ts=1270055582441&isSearch=true

garage light of similar?
anyone know how i can get a fluorescent light in my garage without wiring up switches? just want to get one in there that uses a plug so i can run extension down there when i need it. if this is not viable then can someone else recommend a fairly cheap alternative so that i can work on my zed in the garage come day or night? something bright enough that can plug into extension. garage currently has no light or power without me running cable down there cheers
