Thanks for the video. I believe the timing belt change interval for this engine is 100k / 10 years. Did you ever notice the water pump to be noisy before it seized?
Yeah it is, no nothing it was fine The only thing I can think of was the antifreeze not performing as it happened right when we had the lowest temperatures big freeze
You've done a good job there mate it's a bit worrying that the water pump seized with such low mileage at 43K maybe it's just a one off as I've never heard them go like that. I just hope the one I've bought with 65K doesn't decide to do the same.

Strangley enough it happened when we had the extreme cold weather deep freeze,
Not sure if that was something g to do with it.
How long did that take you?
Think it was an afternoon to strip down and find the problem then a day to fit new parts etc, not too bad to be honest
What miles were on the water pump when it failed?
43k mate
