Hi,
The water pumps knackered on our van (it just gets very hot and no water pumps when turned on) and was wondering if anybody knows of a website where we can get a resonable priced waterpump. The vans a westfalia t25 1986.
Cheers
Paul

As Kev says....we need more information.
I must admit to being curious as water pumps are mechanical so unless the impeller has detached internally and the belt is still in place the pump would be turning. Are you talking about an electrical pump?
What problems are you having.

I've seen pumps where the impellers have mostly gone Martin
I'd like to know HOW it was discovered, or is it a guess as the engine is overheating?

submersible pumps are about a tenner from most caravan/camping outlets. Or ebay..........
You might have
slightly more problem sourcing one if it's the in-line type that need priming etc (think Autosleeprers have them)
