Hi guys,

I recently took the wife's freelander for a service, when I went to collect, they told me the water pump was leaking, and there was coolant leak marks evident on the belly plate. I have since found out that there are 2 types of water pump, 1. with fan belt cover locating. 2. the other without. So i need to identify it to find out which type to source.

ok, here's my questions.

1. where is the water pump located exactly.
2. is it better to access underneath with belly plate removed.
3. are any 'special' landy tools required for the removal.
4. is it a fan belt or a timing belt that runs it.
5. ....finally, based on haynes manuals spanners 1-5 for degree of difficulty, what would you rate it as, this is basically as I have only a few spare hours in which to do the job, otherwise the local mechy can have it.

Cheers.

Oh, and before we start with the 'hope you got deep pockets' crap, no, there probably the same as yours. It's just that i've got a fatter wallet. Now behave.

you need to state what engine you have first

Which engine is in the Freelander?

Autodata lists:

6hrs + for the TD4

3hrs for the 1.8

4 1/2 hours for the V6

Fook me! It dint take that long to do the one on me 90 even including waiting for the fookin' part ter be delivered!

Obviously, you have trouble reading my post, i'm quite sure I stated that it's the wife's motor and secondly, why have I been suckered, we've got a leaking water pump, not like it's a fooked engine is it, now if you can't be of any help, then, may I suggest that seeing it's gone 10pm, it must be past your bed time, now off you go!!!!
