    You definitely do get 4 distinct seasons in the year, not necessary as bad as melbourne but sometimes here you can definitely have 4 seasons in 1 week! Or skip back and forwards across them (late autumn weather at end of summer? Then stinking hot for a couple of days? Then back to 'normal'?) as a QLD expat it drives me kinda crazy sometimes but I do quite like the place lol and I love being so close to the snow in winter!

    But back to car talk........pump has gone kablooey, approximately 4 hours after I ordered one from UK so she's dead in the driveway until FedEx graces me with their presence. No amount of percussive persuasion from either myself or D was able to encourage her to start. cie la vie I guess....

    Haha Hoges I've just seen where you are from! Oh its funny how absence makes the heart grow fonder

    So out of interest how much did you end up paying for the pump plus shipping from the UK?

    How many K`s did the original pump get to, mine had its 1st play-up at around 235000k`s

    Pump, spare fanbelt (why not) and shipping was about $360, pretty happy with that. She's got about 185000km, research says they start to go from about 100000 miles, so not far off lol

    If you are keeping the car for a while I would get one of the $26 pumps from e-bay, fit in the old housing and keep it as a spare.

    Just dropped my tank tonight to replace pump, took about 20 minutes,
    very easy to do just set vehicle to offroad height before you start, makes life very easy ( although I do have extra clearance fromm 33's and lift kit w/ GenIII's. Tank was lowered on trolley jack then slid straight out from underneath. Would have had back together except that replacement pump supplied without new olives. Not worth paying Land Rover Labour Rates to do the job, very easy task just a bit dirty!

    Funnily enough, DandT's P38 sits at least as tall as yours does Martin... I know this for a fact
