Assistance required, Cowra NSW, Tdi water pump

**100I** · 3rd January 2010, 04:41 PM

Hi all,

We are homeward bound to Brissy from Melbourne and pulling in to Cowra this evening I discovered a failing water pump. I am hoping repco has one tommorow. Failing that can anybody advise the best place to source one? If I can't find anyone willing or available to do the job tommorow ('tis the season) then I may also be looking to rent/beg/borrow a space of hardstand to work on. I have enough tools with me.

If anyone can offer assistance with any of the above I would appreciate it muchly. I am on 1873293040 reversed or rambling.prose@gmail dot com. I otherwise have only limited access to this forum as had to pay for a limited wifi connection on the iPod, but in a few hours my phone will only allow me read the forum.

Cheers
Dan

Can't help with the water pump but if your near a Macca's they have free wi-fi you can use on the iPod. Hope this may help at least get in touch with others.

We're in Yass but you are more than welcome to our shed and tools. Probably a bit out of your way. If you need a hand call me on 0419419271.
Regards,

I've got a friend riding out to Lyndhurst tomorrow (43km from Cowra). If I can source a pump, do you want me to get it to him?

I'm also near Yass. No cover but could help if you can get this far.
Closest parts to us is Canberra so about an hour's drive.

Give british4wd a call on 03 6234 9444 there in tassie but for the price its the best option unless you can find one closer .

I got ripped off with a water pump just the other day as i was unsure on the general price of one for my 3.9 V8 D1 so be care full were you buy .

Heres a link to the one i found on ebay Land Rover Discovery & Defender 300 Tdi Water Pump - eBay, Air Intake, Fuel Delivery, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 19-Jan-10 11:08:42 AEDST)

I've got a call in to my local LR specialist to see if he has one that I can grab tonight. I've spoken to my mate who is happy to deliver it to Cowra if I can get it to him at Blackheath. If I can get a pump, I'll put it on a train to Blackheath (we are both signallers and I can give it to a guard or driver to carry to him).

If I can't source one tonight, if you want me to I'll ring Trivetts tomorrow morning. If they have one, I can collect it from them and put it on a train at Parramatta - or I'll ride out to Cowra with it.

You'd have it by the afternoon. If sourcing one is delayed, my mate is happy to defer his trip to Cowra to Tuesday (I can't go out Tuesday as I'm working).

I've just spoken to Dan. The RAC are paying for motel accommodation for a couple of days. The NRMA road service bloke doubts he'll get a pump in Cowra. Dan will let me know tomorrow if I need to get a pump for him.

I am gobsmacked. Again. Thanks to all repliers. It hasn't completely failed me but it has the death rattles and would unlikely make it much further.
A huge thanks again to Ron. The best I hoped for was some local knowledge of where best to source parts from and I would have to organise logistics from there. Ron has gone above and beyond in his efforts to get a pump to me! I am very grateful and can only try to thank you enough.
What I didn't mention was we are travelling with a 7 mth so of course free time is rare.
Cheers

I'm not doing too well at the moment with finding a pump. I assume you'll need a gasket as well.

I guess the question arises - do you want an OEM pump or after market?
