Give tinklers a call, they not far from boro.

Whilst replacing the pump, it be a good idea to change the cambelt at the same time. You'll be paying twice for roughly the same amount of work if you leave the belt til later.

"big block" ones are driven off the "fan" belt

"small block" ones are driven by the cambelt
