Check your water pump is working.

The water pump drive splines are probably shot...fairly common on FWD's.

Are you sure that's what is wrong with it?? Have you removed the pump and inspected the drive splines??

Could/might be something else and you've bought a water pump for no reason..!!

If the heater dont work its 99% the pump, that goes for all vehicles.

Replaced the waterpump and the power assisted steering pump as all splines were snapped just put back together and the power steering is non existent and heavy can it be bled if so how all help appreciated

[the dutch guy]

it bleeds itself when you turn the wheel side to side. some air will stay in but it should work after a few turns.

Was the engine running when you were trying to bleed the PAS?. N

[ned]

The van being on the trolley jack shouldn't have any affect on the fuel, is your battery good?. N

I don't understand how changing the pas and water pump can stop the engine from running..!!?? You must have disturbed something else.
