[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 1685782, member: 718"] That is indeed how the manufacturer justifies charging his dealers and the customer over £600 for a water pump for a 2 litre engine. It is an industrial machine and if used in a road gang, as many are, then it breaking down might hold up a gang of 20 men with their own machines plus trucks and tarmac factory etc. In which case £650 is chicken feed. In my case I was in no hurry and therefore was quite happy to import a cheaper pattern part from the USA and wait a week for it. In the middle of Winter when it is depended upon for hours every day, I would consider £650 to be far more reasonable for a same or next day repair, even though it is a ridiculous price from a farmer's point of view.
