Waterpump is only 5500 miles and 9 months old so i will be claiming that back under warranty.

Damn - the one I've just put in was from BuyPartsBy - it was a Comline.

which raise the question ........
why automatically replace an OK OE GM water pump for the sake of access when you do a cam belt etc ? Maybe there was a excuse for doing so when a 'real' GM pump was cheap, but now that they're not, would a used/original OE pump be better left as it is rather than replace it with a 'cheap' generic part?  ::)

In my case, BPB told me it would be a QH pump (QCP3255) so I ordered it at what seemed like a good price. 

When it turned out that my existing pump had play in the bearing I decided to take the risk and fit the Comline that arrived rather than faff around starting a dipute with BPB, returning the pump and having to strip down a second time to fit the replacement. 

So I guess it serves me right if the thing shuffles off this mortal coil in a few months.  Time will tell  :-/

Sound like I did well getting a new QH waterpump off fleabay for £20 inc p&p, where somebody they bought it and never got round to fitting it, before they sold the car.  :)

Waterpump now replaced with new Aux belt and fresh coolant. Cheers to Elite pete for coming to my place and replacing it. Now to try and get a refund on the 9 month old waterpump that failed ::)
