Or if you dont want a "proper" EWP - and just want to assist the cooling then maybe this....
Just the thing - how you could make it out of sealing wax and string - i dont know

Nice one

I reckon the 85 would be Ok - the 115 mite be a bit OTT. have a look on the Davies Craig website - loads of helpfull info on there. Or search on here??
will do, cheers

I emailed Richard Davies about this a while ago, here's what he said in answer to my questions (in italics):
Seems like it would be a good buy.

not sure how you would remove the mechanical water pump tho. Or the bypass? Even more difficult on the KV6.

why would you want to fit one ,if cooling system is in good order

coz the cooling system on a freelander is poorly designed, poorly executed and poorly built.

Where's the backup on an unmodded freeb when the PRT fails ? I suppose we just have to trust it - unless there is some kind of redundancy one could build in. I'd be inclined to trust an electrical system like this until it's proved to be untrustworthy.
I think I read somewhere that you can just remove the pump impeller and drive belt from the mech pump. Hence it just becomes part of the plumbing from the EWP's perspective.
EDIT: AGH Hatman beat me to the point there!!

In fairness, dispite my, somewhat tongue in cheek, reply above. It is common practise to have both systems running in tandem, so that if the EWP fails, then the mechanical system is enough to get you home.

ah-ha, it'd make sense, but i do get your point about having back-ups for everything......it's not a Klingon battle cruiser
