Was wondering if anyone else has dared to try anything other than a motorcraft one?!?! need 2 get one at some point and was wondering if the aftermarket ones were up to the job or a case of stick to what u know works ie genuine as usual

Cheers

 

cossie is fine !!!!

the oil pumps are the issue

 

Tony, 2w/d water pumps are the same as ANY Ford Pinto o/head cam engine got my last one for £18 from a local motor factors!

 

alvyn the pattern ones aint

 

Was it a ford one thou Alyvn or a pattern one?!

Reason i ask is the gf was working for camberly a while back and trying to be helpful she got me a 2wd pattern one for like a tenner or something. Its the right one for a 2wd cos. So was wondering whether its worth using or just getting a proper ford (motorcraft) one!! Dont wanna skimp on it just too save a few quid i'd have to pay out again for later!

 

what are they then?

 

Tony, got one from Halfrauds(as they were the only people open on Sunday as it was 15.45) about 4 weeks ago and the ONLY difference you had was whether you wanted one with the viscous fan bit on the front OR NOT!

IF you was talking about a 4x4 then THAT'S a different story!

 

Yea that was the mistake she made she bought 1 of them home first but changed it for a normal one, guess what im trying to get at is a pattern one just as good as an original motorcraft one or not?!

If its from halfords then it'll be a pattern one btw!

 

whos the pattern one made by, id not have a FIA water pump but i would have a blue print water pump

mind i wouldnt have a motorcraft one either

ill check to see if i can get a blueprint one for ya and get it delivered to a garage of your choice

where abouts are you these days as i aint sure how far our merton or catford branches travel too

 

Its made by QH if thats any help?!

 

tbh they are pretty good these days, aint the best but there ok

for pattern parts you cant beat the quality of blueprint though,, they even make oe parts for people these days and there catalogues are more than spot on

but quinton hayzell are still ok

hey did you know the name of the person who started quinton hazell is actually called quinton hayzell

 

Genuine FORD water pumps for 2wd cossie and pinto are DIFFERENT.
I have both sat on my bench.
Cossie one has brass impeller for a start, but still viscous fan fitting.
Dimensionally the same, but the inner depth is much deeper on the cossie one.
Pattern are ok as FORD NEVER MADE WATER PUMPS anyway, made by a third party pattern supplier!!

i got my 4x4 water pump re-con with a life time warranty last year for £40 from a place in wolverhampton this guy re-con water pumps for all sort
