Got the water pump out and yes,the plastic fins part has broken off and i picked out a few broken bits too.Definitely some bits missing but don't suppose there's much i can do about that.Read somewhere there's a drain plug on the block somewhere on this engine,anyone know where that is anyway?

It's on the offside cylinder block, just aft of the turbo.
It's a tapered-thread bolt-head. If you're still unsure, 'PM' me your email address, and I'll forward a drawing to you.

Water pump replaced and no more overheating.On a couple of short runs the gauge stayed well under 90.Heater's working again too.
Before fitting the new pump I took the top pipe off and flushed it through with a hose,I also used a rolled up cloth in clingfilm to block off the water pump housing enough to let the block fill up then unblocked it so there was a bigger flow of water and it seemed to work as some more broken parts of the impeller came out.Repeated that a few times to make sure.
Thanks for all the advice!
If only i could sort the damn stalling problem now!

Glad you are sorted. I've just dismantled a 2.5 TD engine.
