About 1" & a half diameter and 4" long? Electric water pump for the winter pack heating, it helps circulates water around the heater matrix to get heat into the cabin ASAP. ;)

I'd be looking more at a blocked heater matrix, particularly if driven for a while with blocked oil cooler

This might be handy ..... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1185891036 Use a hose pipe till the water runs clear, even then though, you can't be certain that you have water flowing through all of the cores. (click here (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1228657191))
Forte coolant flush has been used by various member with positive results. clicky (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Forte-Car-Cooling-Coolant-System-Flush-500ml-New_W0QQitemZ320463288334QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4a9d19b80e)
