As said, there's no mechanism for the water to get into the pump (unless it came in via the fuel tank) so sounds to me like a 2nd opinion is needed. I'm guessing someone either doesn't want the job or hasn't got a clue how the engine works.  ::)

. its the worst diagnosis.Theres water evertwhere even in the pump.Looks like the end of her.Shame i loved that car.In the 3 years ive had it i trie to get it uptogether .(new tires,shocks,discs/pads,bushes front & rear,exhaust,
rackrods)
    So what can i do now?Will insurance give me anything?Or does anyone have adecent TD engine.Idont have any where to break it.what should i take off to recoup  some money if i scrap it.   Thanks for your help.

   s

It would help to know what exactly was meant by 'everywhere',  (and I am also at a loss as to how it can have got in the pump), if there is no mechanical damage, a complete drying out and proceed as suggested by the Master would at least prove whether or not the mechanics are damaged. If it is you will have lost nothing more than your time. :y :y :y

I also wonder how he found water in the pump. Did he strip it down?  :o (in which case, good luck in getting it put back together properly).

I know nowt about diseasels in particular, but an engine is an engine when it comes to hydraulic lock, and I'm not far from Swindon, Shackeng knows a fair bit about diseasels and is also fairly close. Between us we have a fair selection of tools !!

I'm sure between us we could do a decent diagnosis ...  :)

I'm sure that if nothing else was available, both could be persuaded to run on the stuff, albeit briefly ::)

An RB211 has no chance of fitting under the bonnet of an Omega, though. A Griffon, on the other hand <rubs chin>. ;)
