Also if anyonehas any pointers on replacing waterpumps, please let me know. I'll be going at it with a Haynes manual, at least that's the current plan.

Yes; I've used Paddocks for the last 9 years without a hitch, others have complaints. You pays your money and you takes... etc. I always found them to be the cheapest for most things but if you are in a hurry and don't want to risk a long wait they aren't doing so well at the moment. Try Craddocks or LR Series? Never dealt with them but hear good things.
 
Get a part number and use LRDirect.

Never let me down, you can choose shipping and part manufacturer aswell
 
LR Direct are good, I got all my bits for a gearbox rebuild from there, cheaper than Paddocks and more choice.
Keep us posted on your experience with Paddocks... maybe they need a serious talking to.

Okay i'll remember that for next time. I'll keep you updated.
 
I did mine when replacing the timing chain so I had the front off and radiator out. A very simple swap as long as the faces are in good nick and the replacement gasket is a decent one. If not you might need a smear of instant gasket silicone.
If doing it with the rad in place make sure you don’t puncher it. It dunt take much to ruin it.

Okay thanks, i'll bookmark this particular thread for my laptop when i go over to do it. I should have a little assistance in a few days with it, just matching the timings between me being at work and him being available.

I was suspecting it would be easier as a radiator out job, bit cramped otherwise.

cheers all.
 
Hey all, I’m currently in Halfords looking for a hose clamp for the bottom hose of the water pump. Does anyone know the measurement? I’m pretty far away from my landy atm.

Cheers
