P-gasket replacement?

(1/5) > >>

Hi Guys, haven't been posting much lately but still keeping an eye. Anyway, the Disco has started overheating again and I've traced the water leak to a slow seepage from behind and beneath the water pump. I'm guessing it's the P-gasket so I think I'll change it on the weekend. Water pump is making a nice scraping noise too so I might as well change that at the same time.  So apart from the P-gasket and the pump, is there anything else I need to get from Paddocks on Saturday morning before I start. The disco is our only car so I don't want to get halfway through and realise I need a ..... :wink:

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought you had to get a genuine LR P gasket as the factory made modifications to prevent future failure. I got a feeling the other manufacturers are still selling standard ones. Shoot me down in flame why don't you  :lol:

jnoshea:
I think you're right Mace, the new part number is PET100790 which I think is the upgraded aluminium one instead of the old paper one.  I'm hoping that Paddocks has one 'cos my local dealer tends not to stock anything so there's always a few days wait.

denviks:
have you got a spanner to take viscouse fan off?

just a thought  :wink:

jnoshea:
Now chuckle if you want, but I wasn't going to take the fan off because I'm not going to replace the belt, so I was hoping (and I haven't tested my theory yet) that I could untension the belt and get it off the pump etc and just let it hang around the fan pulley.  Will this not work?  :D
