Well here we go again , solve one problem then Immediately find another.
Whats going on here ? how can I fix it ? https://youtu.be/otcDlgXHZhY
Thanks Everyone for help on other problems so far.

Make sure its bolted on properly and that the bearing isn’t shot.

Can’t tell if thats a knackered bearing noise or just the noise of it rattling about.

Never seen a that bearing wobble so much though.

Thanks Mate does sound like its the noise of it rattling on the side. Its running ok, but suppose it can only get worse.
Stupid question, but will I have to take the Rad off to get to the bolts ?
It actually sounds a lot louder on the Vid then when your there listening to it.

You can get to the bolts with the rad still in to check if they are tight.

Cheers Mate, Gonna have a good look tomorrow, just hoping its not new water pump time.

The bolts are tight but it still wobbles by hand in Vid. https://youtu.be/_lkQDSIeURg
Is the Bearing in water pump ?

I would say that's new water pump time, I would also do the cambelt and tensioner while it's apart and inspect the front cam/crank seals for signs of leaks.

Cheers Mate, Gonna order pump and Timing belt kit. might get a price from local 4x4 garage to fit them, dont really want to mess with the timing myself.

It's a pretty easy job tbh, just rotate it around to TDC when its all apart (before removing the belt) and make sure nothing moves while swapping the belts. These are non interference engines so the worst that can happen if you mess up is that it just wont run
