That's what I thought. It's not the original, I can see that, but who knows if it is the second or third.
I'm pricing up a replacement now just in case.

Oh you're doing the Nurburgring? For some reason I thought you were going round the Spa circuit.
Your car does have almost new pads all round so you should be fine. Have to ask bigwinn about the other one.
Not too many shots of the 'Cheat XK' please.
Was this a kit or did you buy separate parts? I'm not sure if my pump has ever been done, and with 119k miles, it's something I mean to look into.enuff_zed wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 5:28 pm
On the plus side, I can source Pierburg pump, Mahle thermostat, replacement mounting bolts and coolant for a total of £280 and shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to do the work.
Car isn't being delivered until next Wednesday so all should be good.
The parts come from Germany (eBay),
I’m currently on my way back from Liverpool. Can’t seem to sort the link for you but if you search for N52 water pump you should see the kit. Blue boxes with the three bolts arranged in front. £255.44.chanlon1 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 2:31 pmWas this a kit or did you buy separate parts?

If you have a link, it would be appreciated as I may pick up the pieces and add to the "to do" list......
