598483 Water Pump Rebuild Assessment Charge 2.6 6 Cylinder Series 2a 3
New water pumps for the 2.6 litre 6 cylinder Land Rover Series 2a or Series 3 engine are unobtainable.
Rebuild kits are also unobtainable, so rebuilding these pumps involves—among other bespoke touches—modifying a new impeller for a 2.25 litre 4 cylinder Series engine on a lathe. This must be done precisely for optimal clearance between the impeller and the pump housing. It’s an iterative process that’s quite tricky and time-consuming.
We can rebuild a 2.6 water pump for you.
Here's the process
First, you pay the assessment charge here and send us your 2.6 water pump.
When it arrives at our workshop, we'll assess the cast iron housing. If the housing passes our inspection, we’ll carefully attempt to remove the impeller. Occasionally, impellers are seized so tightly on the shaft that they cannot be removed without fracturing the housing, despite penetrating fluid, heat, specialist tooling, and patience. The assessment charge covers the time required to inspect the pump and determine whether rebuilding is feasible. Because this assessment work must be done regardless of outcome, the assessment charge is non-refundable.
We'll let you know the outcome.
The assessment charge is $99. You pay that here by proceeding to checkout.
If your water pump can be rebuilt, we'll go ahead and rebuild it. Unless you want us to preserve the patina, we'll blast, prime and paint the housing in a colour of your choice (the period-correct Duck Egg Blue is an option). On completion, we'll send you photos of the rebuilt pump and email you a payment link. When that payment comes through we'll post the pump back to you.
The rebuild charge is $770 plus postage. If it turns out your pump can't be rebuilt, we might be able to supply a rebuildable pump for an additional $330 and rebuild that pump for you. This will depend on availability. Used pumps are getting hard to find, and only some of the ones we’re able to source turn out to be rebuildable.
If you have a spare one, please let us know.
There are two 2.6 radiator fan types (standard and viscous), and the fan mounting arrangement on the pump differs accordingly. We can rebuild both pump variants.
