Easily fixed?

I did the one in my Pajero V6 which was right down in the elbow of the V and had a lot to strip out of the way to get to it but other than that pretty straightforward, just a case of carefully removing everything in the way, sticking the pump and new gasket in and bolting everything back.
Not too many bits left over afterwards and it didn't leak.

pretty easy if you have a little mechanical know how and are carefull you should be able to get the job done.

bout 1hr to clear all the shit away from around it and another hour to remove and clean the block surface ready for the new gasket and pump(use silicone on the gasket as well)then another hour to rebuild it.and use a good coolant :wink:

thats on the long side if you are feeling your way through it. or you could drop it in at your local garage and part with around $200-$300 and the jobs done with a MTA garantee :wink:

and your hands stay clean

.....

but wheres the fun in that :?:
