PS: I have heard that the Mazda genuine water pump is the only way to go.

Just come for the drive then

- the more the merrier. And AJ - of course - come and stir

Last question: Have you got a big socket or tube thing to put against the new crank seal to tap it into place? I have some larger sockets. If you need any, let me know the size.

Didn't know there was a fellow 5 owner so close.

I'm just near the Venner Rd roundabout. My water pump just started leaking yesterday :frown:

I noticed it at the Car of the year dinner/drive yesterday (good time it was too, lots of NC's). Priced all the parts today at Mazda. :shock:

And plan to do mine next week. Do you mind If drop in to see what I'm in for? I did plenty of timing belt changes in my Fiat days. I have access to plenty of tools including a rattle gun and compressor if you need anything else I might just have it?

Hi John, Hopefully it wont go to much further.

but I am tempted to pull both the motor and box out together (been down this road before) to do the job as I just remembered the CAS seal need doing as well.

Yeah, I hear that is the preferred method. Call me if I can be of help. (I'd be keen just to have a look

)
