I'm trying to get confirmation off them  £54.00 new seems to good to be true 
Anyway stupid question time now what if I get somone to block the releif hole up on the pump, I can't see it doing any harm could it ? as there is nothing else except the drip from it no noise etc..

The bleed hole is there to prevent the bearing being ruined by coolant.

In the meantime I put a request in to the local fire brigade to follow me around when i'm driving to keep the water topped up.
I have mailed the people that sent offers of pumps again and still no replies so could mean they weren't the right ones they were offering

Both cars they've mentioned look to be 24v's too.
Usually when i do a parts request like that they pester you to death if they have the part though

Yes thats about right that will be a genuine Ford one,
You may find Trev at FPUK can do a slightly better deal but only if he has one

Gasket usually comes with it, if not "Specialised Engines" of Essex seem to do all the 24V Gaskets individually.
I recently bought 2 sets of timing case and timing chain tensioner, plus intake gaskets from them as separate items 
Not silly prices either and postal service

Otherwise I'd take Dave up on his offer
Just IMO

If you can't get hold of one, would the old fashioned way work by making your own out of gasket paper and/or liquid gasket ?

Just seen this - 24v waterpumps should be available from FPUK (£175). Bought 1 a couple of months ago after the spindle started leaking.
