Title: 24v Water pump
Post by mark103 on Nov 30^th, 2007, 12:28pm

Hi
I have a late 24v Cosworth that needs a water pump, but fords don't have one.

Does anybody know if I can fit the earlier one, it has a different bend in it, but how about if I change the hose as well ?.

Regards
Mark

There are firms that will replace the glands and bearings in the pump as a last resort if you cannot get a new one .... Or try doing it your self .

What's the problem getting hold of these pumps ??? This seems to be a long ongoing problem >:(

Thankfully mine seems to be brand new as does the radiator or so it appeared when I bought the car ....... crickey three years ago! Now that's gone quick! Makes me wonder whether I should order one now for stock for just in case :-/

The problem is Ford seem to be running out of them but if you can get your hands on one they are very expensive!

I got one from Lifestyle Europe FMD in Horsham when i was working down there about 6 weeks ago - next day delivery. 129 + vat. Might be worth a try.

I got a brand new one off a scrapper (even the gasket was in mint condition!!) and also a brand new (well few weeks old at most anyway) how much??

£5.00 for the water pump and a tenner for the rad.

I do love some scrappy men who don't know how much things should cost!!

Did you mention to him after you paid for them that he'd just saved you about £500? Now that would have been worth seeing ;D
