This video is not intended to be a how to video but a visual on what is going on behind the motor between the thermostat housing and the water pump.

I followed this comprehensive tutorial on how to replace the water pipe:

I needed to put my mind at ease to confirm where the water leak was exactly so I removed the inlet manifold. I noticed in the 1A Auto video that their vehicle didn't have the "Sound Generator Duct" so I went looking for a video/car that did.

This is very helpful if you want to remove the inlet manifold like I did:

Only difference I have found so far is that my car did not have a bolt at the bottom of the manifold.

Final note:
1A auto videos are top shelf. I've followed their tutorials for three jobs now. This water pipe replacement, PCV valve cover replacement and the front wheel bearings. I watch them a few times before I do the job and have found them to incredibly helpful.

Car is actually a R55 Clubman, same same, but different.
