I'm losing water but I'm not sure where from

Cos mine has been altered a lot in the pulley department I thought that this may have been missed on alteration, will check. Do 430 have bigger rads than 400 is my next annoying question? PS away again for the next 8 days.

Oh dear. Bubbles comming up when running (in the expansion tank). Had no time to try other suggested methods so took it to a V8 man. Might have to mortgage the wife to pay for it. Hope its only the gaskets. Get the feeling you have bought a "Oh my god sell it"

Mine was losing water ever since I've owned it, until a couple of weeks ago when the problem revealed itself,
it was the water pump, it became quite noisy, if you stand by the right side of the car it actually sounds like its coming from the valve train, but then again I have got one dodgy ear on account of playing guitar too loud. There was a bit of play in the pulley, with the belt on under load, the arrangement is slightly different on account of me replacing the alt with a 90amp mondeo one, and manufactured a adjusting system that involves turning a 10mm nut, rather than the old fashioned way the pole ee n lever method, soo guess its possible I over tightened it. The new pump cured the water loss problem and overheating.

Sorted, over-ported heads cracked allowing the system to over pressurize and spit it out.
