best way to put it is : its a round ring that suports the prop shaft in the midel

mine has broken up looks like it is fit to go in the bin so got some questions

1.any idea how much they cost

2.is it a easy DIY job (looks it to me)

3.would it couse the van to judder on pull away or am i right in thinking its the clutch

(sorry if there is more spelling merstakes then normal but its almost 4am so its a aloud )

going to try and fix it asap

oh one dose any one know a ruff price for a water pump to ?

any help will be grate

(hope it all makes sence )

forgot to say my van is a 2.4di Mreg smiley

propshaft doughnut (rubber bit) is fairly easy to fit just don't take the steel band off it until it's bolted up - water pump will probably cost about £130 supplied and fitted

good luck

[maxlee]

any ideas of price of the water pump on its own?

[100ps_drw_hicube]

partco are doing waterpumps £22.00 ish at the mo got one 2 weeks back if your vat registered then its even cheaper

[MrMPuk]

You can get the water pump from Fords for £60 so Im sure it will be cheaper from a motor factors. Also its a 2.5 not 2.4.

if i'm not mistaken, there were 2 types of prop centre bearings available .... those that came in 3 parts
1) bearing
2) rubber doughnut
3) metal mounting cage

... and those that aren't supposed to come apart !

for the ones that come apart, there were 2 different bearing sizes the others i am not so sure about, have a peek on ebay, i see them on there all the time, about £20 and its an easy enough job provided the old bearing hasn't wedged itself on the prop
