Maestro Diesel water leak

[ChrisLocke]

I have just noticed a bad water leak from the cam belt end of the engine.
I think its the water pump but cant see. It looks part of the engine mounting so are they expensive and how easy are they to change. do I have to take the Cam belt off to get at the pump. any advise would be appreciated.

Chris :confused:

Doesn't look like the water pump on the camper which is indeed part of the engine mount, and is also unfortunately, and as you guessed, bloody expensive :(

thanks for the quick replies, mine is H reg 1990, looked on Ebay and asked if he has one for this age of car. noticed there are some haynes manuals so would be usfull if I got one first.
How much is a new pump normally. More than I payed for the car I bet

Hmmm, I have been quoted everything from #105 to #112, pound sign key does not work, and i cant find it anywhere on the keyboard!

Can the pump be reconditioned, fit new seals etc

[tony]

not sure if we can do that , i think they are sealed for life :)

I've been quoted about 70 quid ish. I got mine from e-bay for half that. That pump advertised above may be right I'm not sure it looks similar to mine. Worth checking though.
