Yeah, I've been suss about the WP bearings to tell you the truth for a while, but don't want to touch it, looks like a pain in da butt...never ends.
More fun ahead.
The water pump is only a few years old, do you know if it is easy enough to separate the bearings from it?

Have you checked the amperage load being drawn from the battery what did it read?

It is at .04, which sounds very low, considering when I put the interior light on, it was at about .5 and the central locking shot it up about 8.0 for a second

Cool.
I'll see how it goes, if it plays up, I guess it might be the battery... I've stuffed one before by shorting it out.

Thanks again for all the help dude, you put your foot in it now, I'll be looking for you all the time ha ha ;)
