Hi,<br /><br />I am becomming very confused and frustrated.<br /><br />To be on the safe side-I have no idea when it was last done, I want to replace the waterpump impeller (kit) and possibly the thermostat. <br /><br />My reasoning is that I would rather spend a few tens of pounds now rather than have a major problem if it overheats.<br /><br />Problem 1.<br /><br />I am unsure of the part numbers for these parts. Should i get a kit (part and seals , gaskets etc) Or just the parts themselves.<br /><br />Problem 2.<br /><br />Should I replace both the waterpump impeller or thermostat as well?<br /><br /><br />Problem 3.<br /><br />I can't seem to find a supplier of these bits in the UK. I will happily get them mail order from iboats but because shipping will me quite high to get them to the UK I need to make sure they are correct and I am getting what I think I am getting. ie all seals gaskets etc. <br /><br /><br />Can You please point me in the right direction?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Ian

Actually come to think of it, where the hell is the thermostat?
