So I get my water pump into my 2000 p38a vitesse 4.6 and begin the pulley and belt reassembly when I look at the end of my brand new water pump and think, huh, that's funny - my old one had threads and this new one came with a rubber thingy where the threads should be.
Is this some new design I just don't know about. ... really??
This fan is gonna fit on that and screw on and work?? Really?? So I do what every RR mechanic type should do when this happens. Grab for a cold beverage of your choice and sit down.
Think to self, self do I really have to get back on the phone and reorder the correct and very important new part which would probably be here next week or do I take that bullet and go back in with the old pump/new gasket and be okay to continue on with the rest.
Conundrum - need the RR pretty urgently - help...
The entire cooling system is being overhauled from hoses to radiator, thermostat,etc., top to bottom,
I've got every thing new ready to install and the old pump does not show any cracks or faults and will turn by hand pretty easily with resistence.
I wish I could post pictures but it says I've reached my max -
Any help is greatly appreciated - any cross reference would be great too!!
Thanks
