water pumps? which is which.

[pickled_foot]

hi,
my water pump is now more of a sprinkler system. the once nice tidy engine is now rust coloured and a bit furry thanks to it.
easy enough to change but looking around i keep seeing QH reference numbers for the part on ebay and such that seem to be right, only i'm not sure which is actually the one i need.
I have a '78 GLS HC viva 1256cc with viscous fan coupling.
Think i need either QCP954 or QCP2187 but if anyone knows for sure i would be grateful.

cheers

Hello pickled foot!?
Are you a club member? The club spares scheme stocks all water pumps at competitive prices, - why wait for Ebay? When as a member you have immediate access...........
P.s Neither of those part numbers you give are correct for Viva.!

i know i should get through club but have lost job so every penny counts and keeping viva on road is a stretch as it is. if i can save £10 buying through ebay and taking the risk thats the way it has to be. there is a classic spares shop just down the road who sells them too but way out of my price range, over £40 including VAT.
when i'm feeling a bit more flush i'll do the jobs that aren't just desperate ones, then i'm sure i'll get stuff through club but right now car will have to just trudge on as best it can.

Hi Adrian

Looks like you might soon have a buyer for that 1256 engine you have tucked away in the corner!

I can't tell whether you were being genuine in your post above in thanking Adrian for his offer to supply a pump through the club, or upset that lots of people didn't post the answer you were looking for. I did send you a PM with the appropriate part numbers according to the QH parts manual when I first saw your posting, but I don't know whether you saw it or not.

it was a mixed post,
but thanks to your PM i now have a water tight happy little viva with a QCP954 pump running at half the club price.
which is great for poverty stricken viva owner me.
Now whats next on the fix list...
