water pump v8

Hi al out a run with wife & kids today on the way home water temp started to rise got home to find water every where i thought it was my fault as i forgot to put headed top back on so filled it with hot water then left it for a while then to it out for a run every thing seamed OK till i got home to find water dripping from the water pump so thats another fix for next week

I was in Inverness today called by Hamish at Inverness 4x4 lucky he had one of a recon engine so i got a good deal so that's the job for to night

Nice one mate goodluck fitting it

good luck fitting it, bit of luck that hamish had one there, its nice when things happen when you want them. except the water pump failing that is

Hamish is good he dont seem bad with his prices either need to go and see him myself for a few bits and bobs hope everything is going well with fitting the pump Andrew

It it that easy a job that you can do it in a night, though you have a much better set-up than me.

Good luck anyway.

That's it on took about two hrs to strip and fit so quite an easy job

Definatly wouldn't have been that quick on a toyota!!!

Some piccys of the water pump
old water pump
un bolted
new water pump took it for a test run tonight all seams to be working ok

Glad to hear all is well with the new pump and no probs nice one mate

That looks far to easy! but glad it working

I it was easy but I think that was due to not having a viscos fan but I might be wrong

well it makes it easier to get into thats for sure electric fans are easy to lift out

a job well done its just as easy with a viscos fan as long as you give it a good whack with a punch and then use a 32mm spanner 32mm left hand thread 27mm right hand thread

Sounds more like getting into a sfae than taking a fan off
