24V Cosworth Water Pumps

Hi Guys, I can now say definitely 100% I can rebuild BOB Cosworth Water Pumps succesfully, as I've finally got round to sourcing the correct parts and pressing an old unit apart, rebuilding it and installing it on an engine to make sure its all fine Cost is £140 plus P+P and you need to send me a good pump casting to rebuild as core units are thin on the ground now If yours has play or is leaking, don't drive it to death, because if the bearing breaks up and it damages the casting it will not be re buildable Regards Dave

Dave. Thank you for that. I'll leave your post here for now but will eventually move it to a permanent home in How to do Things.

Brilliant Dave a bit too late to stop my bank manager weeping at the last episode of Ford's replacement but as I now have two old pumps and two cossies I may be in touch soon to have a ready spare (pension allowing !) Well done Glyn

I feel sure Dave will confirm BUT is this not from the Granada Scorpio?. We've had this problem before with parts suppliers.

Hi Adam, I've tried ordering them before and a 12V / BOA pump is what gets supplied.................... The one in your link is a genuine Ford one, which are no longer manufactured, and AFAIK no dealers in UK have any stock, but certainly soon the stock will run out Point is now I couldn't care less, I don't earn a living from re building water pumps I'm retired If you want to muck around ordering pumps and get the wrong ones, in an effort to save a couple of shillings then fine, loads of guys have fallen prey to these wrong listings, we've done the subject to death on here,.......... I can rebuild them, good as new for £140 with new bearing, seal, impellor and flange, cost of parts is around £80 and they take a couple of hours to do. If thats not acceptable, don't bother pm'ing me, just play the game and keep getting sent the wrong one Dave

You pay your money you have a choice new or rebuild. I would go new every time. If the price is even a little more or even the same.

I think I'd go for re-build by a professional. I'm a professional engineer myself albeit heavy engineering, and would always take a re-build of something like a water-pump or Alternator/Starter-motor over a new item, if done properly it's better than new in my experience. I used to demonstrate the re-building of steering-racks, aye shimming them up properly, and you should see the rubbish that comes from the factory as supposed box-new!

LOL @ PJD Adam, I agree, I'd buy new every time, but Ford are no longer making / supplying them, so all that is left is old stock.................. When it's gone it's gone, and I'll bet the Germans don't have that many left on the shelves.................. That is why I took the trouble to strip an old unit and find a supplier of the bearing / spindle annd the seal assemblys, and also make up the neccesary jigs to press them apart / together nicely.............. Beleive me your local bearing / seal company can't get the parts !! Dave

Yes Dave, I agree with you stock levels are pretty much non-existent in the UK. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, far from it. It's the same scenario with the wishbones. You can still pick them up in Germany for £77 but for how long is anyone's guess. Yet, I have seen them selling in the UK for over £150. Anyway Dave, as I said previously thanks for putting the time into this. Adam

Could you please remind us where the wishbones can be found. Thanks in advance..... Sounds like you've gone to a lot of trouble Dave, so if I need a pump in the future I'll certainly have one of yours. Good effort mate, sooner or later somebody will be very grateful, I'm sure.
