This ok?

Water Pump 2.5 TD BMW STC2192G STC3342G Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

Or is it a cheap plastic one? I've heard the Britpart ones are no good, but this is a KS? one. Never heard of them, but Island are half decent, so ok or rubbish?

tnx!

Yes that's the right one
Has yours failed yet or is this preventative?

Preventative as I've seen others. Also, a couple of times, the air con fan has come on whilst driving.

Look how cheap this one is

Original Equipment Quality Water Pump (Complete with gaskets where reqd) SWP1064 | eBay

Probably plastic, but then isn't the original plastic?

And this one:

I didn't think that the diesel had a facility for the air con fans to assist in engine cooling.

99MY on has a third sensor in the head that brings on the aircon fans when an engine overheat occurs

Now I don't like the way you phrased that. You've got me worried Does that mean I've had a potentially damaging overheat or did you just mean as it gets hot to prevent a damaging over heat???

Yes The sensor temperature is a fair way above normal running temperature. Of course if the aircon was on that may also have triggered the fans.

The aircon wasn't on. It's happened twice. Once after a short run, the aircon fans came on and came on again the very next time I started the car (10 mins later). I thought that was odd as it wouldn't have had time to get hot.

The other time was when I was towing. I could hear the aircon fans kick in and out on the journey.

What symptoms should I be looking for? Not noticed any loss of coolant. Since my rad split, I had a drop in coolant once. It was static for days and then suddenly dropped an inch in the reservoir. I topped up and its been static since. I assumed an air lock.

Any preventative maintenance to do? Get a new head gasket? What can I check?

tnx

Did you notice your temp gauge going excessively high when the fans came on?

NikTheGeek said:

No, normal 12 o'clock position and when they kicked in, the temp dropped to about 11 o'clock
