JeffR Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well there has been an odd whirring noise coming from the family hack 200tdi, looked at everything I could think of, wheel bearings , diff, power steering, the bloody lot. Didn't think to look at the water pump I put on in December, guess what, the fffffing bearings have collapsed..... God I really am beginning to hate Landrovers, before anyone asks, yes it came in a blue box (my fault I know, but I was in a hurry) and no I cannot find the bloody receipt. So whats the best water pump to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 At first I thought you'd let the missus back in the car with but now I know you just need to buy a better quality water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Can you not re-bearing the pump yourself? Then you can buy as good a bearing as possible from a local supplier, and not worry about it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shaft has chewed up the casing, bloody lucky the fan didn't eat the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Airtex is a reliable brand, mine came via Allmakes through my local LR parts guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If I remember correctly airtex is OME. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I've been searching for an airtex varient for a couple of years and I haven't found one 300, you can find but not 200. I think I'm going to plump for a genuine one rather than take a chance with aftermarket, I really don't believe their OEM hype any more.

JeffR Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Don't suppose anyone knows where the bearing in me ex-waterpump went? The impeller shaft looks like it's been rough out with a file and the impeller has parted company with the shaft.... the Gods were smiling cos it went just as I got through my garden gates, would love to know where the bearings went though. Oh and the fan blades got within a mm of the radiator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
