What is it with water pumps these days ?
Every advice I read with regard to any & every make/model advises changing the 'pump every few years & certainly in tandem with timing belt replacements.
A couple of years ago the 'pump on my (then) 32 year old Range Rover started to leak, but considering 2 of the mounting studs sheared during removal there's every chance that the unit was original.
Is there something different about the cooling systems of modern cars, or just that the 'pumps themselves are junk ?
