water pump

hiya everyone just bought a defender300 tdi
does any one no if its a hard job to fit a new water pump
gasket and if so any tips or do'S and dont;s
thanh you

does any one no of a company in or near the
yorkshire area what fits and supplies galvanized
chassis

Just done mine, it's a piece of cake when you have done it

1 hour job start to finish if you are good, 2 hours if you are me. I would go a step further and replace the P gasket as well, you will be kicking yourself if that starts to leak after you have done the water pump as you will have to redo the water pump as well... At least then you will have the pump housing completely off so you can clean the surfaces thoroughly.

2-3 hours to do the lot if you know what you are about - 5 for me



Edited to add: that was a 300tdi in a disco, I don't know how much room there is in a 90 WRT the radiator though.

Yes, at a cost of £1.79


Alas the P gasket will cost £1,745 + vat

Just done the water pump on my 300tdi defender very easy job only 14 bolts to undo/redo and the job is done, took just short of an hour start to finish.
