Removing the old pump

Good access

The coolant pump is ideally presented at the top front of the engine bay and, on this Ninety installation, there are no plastic cowls to be removed.

1

Spacer

As the steering pump pulley is removed, any spacer which will be sat behind the pulley on the pump’s shaft hub, should be collected for refitting on rebuild.

10 Tensioner exposed

With the power steering pump’s pulley now out of the way, this pic shows how the PAS pump belt’s tensioning bracket was eased in step 9.

11 Tensioner bracket

The steering pump’s tensioner bracket is now unbolted. Bolts pass through front casing, coolant pump and block, so keep them in order. Also one nut on stud (arrowed).

12

One for the scrap bin

The pump comes away complete with the gasket, which would normally need to be scraped off the front cover taking care not to mark the aluminium face.

18 Sealing caution

Some prefer to use a sealant with the gasket, but only the finest smear should be used so excess cannot get into the coolant system to cause blockages.

21 Belt settings

The coolant pump and alternator drive belts are fitted, the alternator tensioner located to its bracket, and the belt tensions set (using pinch bolt for the coolant belt).

24 Clean up

Even so, the face on the front cover still needs cleaning perfectly flat to enable the new gasket to seal. Note the locating dowels at 12 and 6 o’ clock.

19 Pre-sealed

The gasket supplied with this pump is impregnated with sealant (red stripe). It’s held in position here by the locating, dowels ready for the pump to be fitted.

22 New part

The new aftermarket coolant pump with its essential new gasket (Britpart number STC483) costs around £28. An Airtex (original manufacturer) pump retails around £70.

20 Rebuild

Pump is positioned on the dowels, alternator tensioner and steering pump brackets and coolant belt tensioner located, and bolts tightened gradually and evenly.

NINETY

Beautifully restored 1989 Ninety, finished in the most stunning Sand colour from earlier Land Rover Series models with a contrasting bronze roof. The colours complement each other nicely. Having a fully colour coded exterior including plastics and wheels really makes this a unique vehicle. The interior is even nicer, with full custom brown leather seats, brown suede roof lining and pillars along with a luxury set of Exmoor carpets really makes this a comfortable place to be. There is a DAB, CD radio system and hands free telephone kit, although being a Defender, having a phone call whilst driving is tricky. Everything works as it should, it drives exactly how a Defender should do with all its little quirks and fun qualities. An absolute head turner and conversation starter everywhere it goes. The chassis and bulkhead are in fantastic condition with no concerns at all. Pulls well, transfer box working how it should, selects every gear how it should and produces smiles as it should. It is only a Sunday driving car for me and therefore never gets abused, sadly she never goes off road. She does however get cleaned every week regardless if used or not either by hand at home or a pro valet. She is started regularly during the week. Any inspection welcome. Test drives will only be conducted if you have valid insurance proving you can drive it. Great chance to own a rare and unique beautifully restored Land Rover Ninety. Has the 2.5TD engine, 50,200miles, MOT March 2021, £12,995, 07943219934, Coleshill, Warwickshire.
