    My 1972 Series 3 2.25 petrol engine seems to overheat. The gauge moves slowly but constantly into the red within a mile of driving. I changed the water pump first. Didn't help. Then changed the thermostat, didn't help. Then changed the water temp sensor, you guessed it, also didn't help. And...

    Hello All, I ordered this pump - Product Details - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts It matches the correct shape, etc. but the "hub adapter" on the back side of it is square and not round like the old pump's hub adapter. (The hub adapter is the part where the pulley bolts onto). This...

I'm leaning towards the Britpart even...

    How do I do it. Remember I know sweet FA about mechanics. So even identifying the correct belt would be helpful. My V8 has had the original fan replaced with and electric one which I assumes makes a difference to the setup. Thanks Mark
