Make sure it is your waterpump and not a cheap pipe first. The leak I had was the lower rad hose, where it connects at the t-section near the top on the left. You couldnt see the leak to start off with, but I obviously knew about it as it got worse and could see the coolant coming out. The way it dripped down was then onto the alternator.

Its quite a common part to go apparantly, as the hose section is kind of moulded on, and this just disintergrated on mine.

This is just another option for you rather than splashing out on the waterpump only to find its not that, but only a simple pipe

Actually just checked my invoice for the job and it was ?260.32 with a discount of ?14.85 as im a AA member and it was carried out by them. From what i can gather looking at the receipt they charged me ?75.08 for the cambelt kit and ?110 labour. ?51.59 for the water pump and ?38.50 labour. so a little bit cheaper than the ?300 i originally stated.

well it has not leaked since, gauge is still on max Bit weird

think that part that des is talking about is leaking on mine as my pump was pissing out so changed that but there is a really small leak still but is only there every now and again
would take around 3 months to empty the whole system if i didnt top it up weekly
might go get one this week and fit it
