Advice needed please

Hi everyone. I've just been informed that I need a new water pump . Any recommendations for a replacement and where I can get it.. also I'm told my breather pipe has a small split in it which is causing a warning light to appear on the dash.. any recommendations for a replacement

Thanks everyone

Dave

You can pretty much get it all on ebays for not a lot of money just make sure the water pump has metal impeller and do the thermostat at the same time.

Thanks slam. . Doing the thermostat at the same time sounds good but would that involve a great deal of work

This is the method from the Bentleys manual. Hope it helps

Thank you for your reply mazzara but to be honest mate I am soo not mechanically minded although I really wish I was right now

No Dave, it's in the same area at the front of the engine as the water pump and would add perhaps 5-10 min to the overall job. It would just be a matter of taking the old one off and replacing with new one. The coolant will be drained anyway to change the water pump. Well worth doing imo.

I bought a Meyle one for mine has a metal impeller.Sourced on eBay but always worth checking motomec, europarts, GSF.
