HELP!! Changing out a water pump housing

[KiwiDave]

I went to do a simple job this afternoon ... change the thermostat. I think this motor is named Christine


FBUK !!! I have my Baloteli hat on today ... Why always me?


Luckily, in best Blue Peter fashion, here's a spare one that I prepared earlier


So, apart from needing to make a gasket here, any tips and tricks to doing the swap out successfully? This will make or break the RRG so I may as well just go for it

You can't fit that Dave, it's not been painted..........!

Fixed that for you Very minimal prep 'cos I'm in a hurry but hey, this ain't Pebble Beach Councours here.

Best get it bolted on, it'll dry when the water heats up.............
