Hi Ned and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours,
Tried to email you but work must be offline.
Battliung to get correct parts for oil/water pump from agents....they imported the wrong parts and can't find a listing for the correct bits! Even with my VIN number.(Only in Africa?)
Do you have the BMW part numbers for the following:
i) the 19 tooth oil pump gear/shaft. (they gave me a 31 tooth gear)
ii) the complete mechanical seal. (I got a normal oil seal from them)
They also supplied a steel spacer (??), and a pressed electroplated steel water impeller (??) Mine is a cast iron seat with a cast iron impeller/cover. Hope yours was the same.
Cheers mate, Frank
