change the pump, i got mine from island 4x4 less than 30 quid Water Pump 4.0/4.6 STC4378 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.
easy to change but try to get the fan assy off whilst its on the car, if you need to use heat use boiling water not a heat torch cos you'll feck the vissy coupling!!
