Water pump leak

[dirtydog]

Right im proper cheesed off the water pump is leaking 1 day before I need to go and play in the mud. Good news is they are only £40 from Milners( i was expecting over £100!), bad news is I wont get delivery!!! ANyone had from Toyota and price etc?

Basically anyone got a plan for me to get one and have it fitted by saturday am??? I havent even done a coolant flush so I can see this being a tad hard for me....

HELP!!! ideas anyone?

How bad a leak is it ? Are you loosing alot or just a little puddle of coolant when parked up ?

Hi mate
I put in almost 2 jugs of water this morning then warmed it up and left it sitting all day - 12 hours later when i got home I added about a glass of water. I wonder how much will come out driving???

That's hard to say as sometimes they leak more when cold and under pressure then tend to swell the seals and not leak much.A bit risky to find out though.

Try ordering a pump for a 3L - 2.8 Ltr motor.They are the same as the Surf.A pump from a 2L engine should be the same as well.

Cheers for that, I found out from Roughtrax website they are the same as the 2.8 but as Jotto has just donated me one for free (cheers Jon!)...

I even have someone to come and fit it with me (cheers Rick!) so fingers crossed ill see you all tomorrow for the weekend!

I know - even next week I wouldnt have minded so much. Still Rick has done sterling work on a car he doesnt know, in time he didnt have, im well impressed.
Seems like ive had a few issues to sort out for a while on the Surf.
