Thread: Assistance required, Cowra NSW, Tdi water pump

Scouse has asked:

Do you want me to arrange it & have it sent by Express Post (I think that's what they use).

That would get it to you by Tuesday, Dan. Otherwise I can ride down, pick it up, and post it.

I have one down here.
I rang one of the trucks going to Coota but he had left already.
As the shops are open today you probly have it under controll.
i wont be home till late this arvo.........Mark

Well, it's pouring here so it's not conducive to a ride to Cowra and back (520km). My mate has had to leave for Lyndhurst already. Things have changed. He's now out at Bathurst.

Scouse has checked and they don't have a pump in stock. They'd need to order it. It would arrive in Sydney tomorrow.

It's looking like an express post parcel from Karcraft in Sydney or British 4WD in Hobart may be the best option. Express Post to from Sydney to Cowra is one day, Hobart to Cowra is two days.

The good thing is that we know Quinton Hazell make the pumps so they may be available through Repco to special order.

I feel lousy in that, thus far, I haven't lived up to what I'd hoped to do.

I just had a call from Dan. Sorted. He's ordered one from someone (not Repco) and it's being shipped today. Now to find somewhere to do the job.

He did cause this himself.

During the trip he'd commented, in earshot of the Disco, that the trip had, thus far, been trouble-free.

Oh, he also said he might as well have been speaking Spanish at the Repco shop.

Thanks again for efforts to help us.*
As Ron has said a water pump is in an overnight bag. Found the golden arches. This morning I took a walk to the other end of town. All mechanics are busy or closed, however I have found a chap who, although overwhelmed with work, has kindly offered a space for me to DIY. I don't think that is an open offer to all comers but in these days of liability concerns it is a very hospitable thing to do so here is a plug:

Google should take care of him for me now. *

As a side note the RACQ has been helpful with extra accomodation as well as entitlement to a hire car if need be. My dad, as a mechanic by trade, is one of those too proud to join, but I think even for a DIY person it is worthwhile.*

Cheers all

At least I got a ride in - even if it was only to go and visit Scouse.


It stopped raining long enough for that.

I'm itching for a ride when I get home but from what I've seen brissy has been awash for the past week

So you use a frowny face to describe when you come to visit.


Nice bloke.
