Yes, that's what I'm being told ... no-one can get them, even suppliers of the suppliers of the suppliers ... time for the girlie tears ... :BigCry::BigCry:

Oi you ... where's the photos & trip report! :burnrubber:

Well, it's not looking good. Have tried Rovacraft, LVS, British Offroad, Classic Land Rover & FWD Motors ... all say they don't have one & they are no longer available.

The bloke at British Offroad says he's got a kit for a water pump ... but for the 4 cylinder (why am I not surprised!) :D He's only got one left, so I have to decide whether to get it ... it needs modifying though. Opinions???

TIME FOR ENGINE SWAP!!!! :D :D :D

I vote Tdi Diesel variant!!!!! (i believe the 200Tdi has the same bolt pattern)

or a 245/265 HEMI 6cyl

then there is always a 186/202...

you know that you want the 200Tdi anyway though ;)

LR 6cyl is rubbish anyway :p

Blimey, I was thining the other day that I wonder how I would go if mine died (unknown health).

That said, I have a suspicion I have a spare somewnere, but it's probably worse.

pain that they can't be acquired though, and kind of surprising considering other parts availability!

Not going to happen! :D If I wanted a diesel or V8 or whatever else ... I wouldn't have bought a 1978 ex Army SIII! :p:p The number of people who tell me to put another engine in .... bloody hell, I'd be rich by now! :D (the laughing icon isn't working!)

Yea, tell me about it. I'm like "you WHAT? you DON'T HAVE ONE? you CAN'T GET ONE?" "WHY THE HELL NOT" ... :(

Going to ring this mob in QLD & see about getting it rebuilt ...

Having spent most of the day trying to source a water pump ... :angel: good to see I have my priorities in check ... :D

Spoke to a mob in QLD who can rebuild the pump for $250.00 ... so think that'll be the way I'll go. 4 X4 Spares in Newcastle or wherever they are (Peter Haylock) can do it, but being a GS ARMY SIII, he can't do it for less than $300.00 because it has a viscous drive with a different nose cone.

So ... think I'll probably go the QLD lot.

Now, perhaps I'd better get some work done ...:D

G'day Panda :)

The last part No that I have for the S3 6cyl is, Water Pump: GWP-313 and packing (seal) waterpump to head HYL-0444 all from the military RPS:)

OR try www.pablanchard.co.uk as they are the ex-MOD specialists in UK, you could possibly quote those Part No's :) takes 5-8 days ex UK

cheers
