I got an NJ Paj.
water pump and timing belt was done at the same time cause it's not much more work to replace the belt as
well.
$360.00 including parts which I bought seperately! then rang lubemobile for a labour charge only. Pretty cheap huh and didn't have to do it me self! drank Beer instead.
Cheers.

I think I got the parts
water pump and timing belt for $140.00
Try Bursons, Repco, and
places like that.
I was going to do it my self but rang Lubemobile for a labour quote and I just couldn't pass it up. I hated doing belts in East west motors.
If you go to a place like Mitsubishi
well that's going to cost a grand easy with timing belt.
Good luck

Mate,
DO NOT drive it, if that lets go you will do serious damage.
My mrs paj pump sh#t itself on a
hill, overheated so fast, completely cooked the motor, heads stuffed. alloy heads not worth maching, plus age of engine generally, we ended up fitting a new engine, 3.0ltr v6 petrol, cost us 5000, that was drive away.
So if you continue to drive it your asking for trouble, accept the inconvenience meantime, it will pay off.
