LandRonB Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hello Folks, Anyone with experience w/the Atlantic British's water pump for $79.95 vs OEM $149.95: Engine Cooling - Water Pumps, For Discovery Series II (roverparts.com) I bought parts from AB before but not their branded water pump. It's for my 04 D2. I have to check it out closer tomorrow when there's day light; it could also be the thermostat and leaky hoses. I got back from a short drive tonight, saw coolant leaking dripping under the drive belt area, and suspect it might be the water pump. Thanks!

DHappel Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Don't know anything about the AB part, but rockauto has waterpumps from $25. Middle of the road, AC Delco, is $60 https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/land+rover,2004,discovery,4.6l+v8,1440627,cooling+system,water+pump,2208 LandRonB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulD Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I have TWO spare water pumps sitting in my garage for newer trucks. If you can get the part #, I will give one to you if you want. --Paul LandRonB and SLOHybrid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Don, thanks for the suggestions. Paul, thank you for the offer. I had good intension of checking out the leak yesterday or today, but work got in the work. Let me check out what's causing the leak; if turns out to be the water pump, I will let you know. And I used to have a 1990 RRC (now sold) and I might still have some left over parts; let me dig in the garage and if I have anything you may need, glad to pay forward parts for the generous offer. Thanks again! Mr.BlueSky and PaulD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BlueSky Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 you mean this Rover Ron Ha, I replaced the water pump on "that" Rover last year... Need to replace the OG tires though.

LandRonB Posted February 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) The problem turned out to be a timing chain cover gasket leak. Sucks! I didn't want to take any chances so I had it towed to a friend's shop. A friend mechanic took care of the repair plus while at it I asked to put a new timing chain cover (aka oil pump). Anyways, fast forward from a week ago, I have the D2 back and now ready for the snow!
