Frogland Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Since changing the cambelt I've had the waterpump on and off 4 times !! I could race anyone to drain the cooling system and get the cowling off,mind you i would like to know if it's possible to remove the cowling without removing the top rad hose ? anyway,leak after leak ,changed the gasket and loads of sealant only to discover the brand new airtex water pump was CRACKED !!! am i unlucky or what ? and of course since i purchased it back in April the well-known LR supplier doesen't want to know. So i've ordered a new one and then maybe i can wangle something with the faulty one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 i would like to know if it's possible to remove the cowling without removing the top rad hose ? doubt it, the rad end would get in the way of lifting the cowling out. bad luck with a cracked new pump.

Ask them if they've ever heard of the Sales of Goods Act, and specifically your statutory right that the goods must be of a reasonable quality. Failing like that after 3/4 months means it cannot have been so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 can't see they have any reason not to replace it or give you a refund. mention trading standards as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
