Unfortunately my water pumps leak has worsened somewhat since I last drove it (November) and once warm now squirts coolant all over the block.

What's the quality like on pattern parts? I don't want to save
£70 on the pump only to have to replace it in 12 months... not that a lot can go wrong with a pump!!Just spoke to my local MRT and they quoted

Re: Water Pumps
If no one has any objections I'll split this off into a different thread so that we don't fill up Patrick's ARDS one.

To be absolutely honest I don't know mate, but I've got one for my NA rebuild so hoping that it's ok. For what it's worth it looks ok lol

Re: Water Pumps
Threads split, jonb- you might want to go back to the racing driver thread and put a new post up to say that you won't be attending?
There have been some problems with some pattern water pumps experienced on two brutal for the V6 engines. I'm not sure whether they're even the same manufacturer that Camskill use (I would expect CS to use Blueprint who's V6 pumps are fine). I'm not sure whether this has any bearing on water pump construction for the 3S-GTE either to be honest. It just suggests to me that there are some pattern manufacters who perhaps aren't paying as much attention as they should be.
I did put a genuine pump on mine when it needed changing. In my eyes a water pump is a pretty important part and shouldn't be skimped on.
I would find someone who's got a Toyota trade discount if you can, my pump was£88 inc VAT IIRC. I'd order it for you but then we'd have to arrange delivery and the like and that will push the cost back up again!

When it comes to fairly important bits that you really don't need to let you down - especially on a car like yours Jon, I'd always go OEM.

Has anyone bought from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-MR2-Turbo- ... 359daed68d before? I don't mind paying OEM but I can't really get to a dealer before it's due in with luke next wednesday.
I like the fact those specifically state they have metal blades, plus their cambelt kits are gates.

Re: Water Pumps
Get Luke to get it in for you, he gets a trade discount from Toyota and they deliver parts to him next day (maybe not next day at the moment with the weather but certainly by Wednesday).
Uh wait, I just thought about that. Presumably you need the water pump to drive it to Luke
