Rotrex Blackbird - Water Pump
Engine in the back, radiator in the front - Will the stock pump manage moving the water back & forth ?
Thanks

Personally I would go the electric pump route, we use the Davies Craig ep80 ones. Loads of advantages- you can turn engine off after a thrash and
leave the pump running to bring the temps down gradually, they shift more coolant and are not engine speed related. We had cooling issues on Sabre
until we fitted one. Despite lots of doubts about reliability we have never had one fail.
Best regards
Andy

if money is an issue i.ve always wanted to see if a central heating pump on an inverter would work. They're designed to run 24x7, some can take
temps over 110 degrees and they'll do high volume - just a shame about the weight / inverter losses.

Alternative ideas always come with a payback, will be able to get one of those ep80 pumps for around £100.
I just need to put my internet hat on and go browsing. There's always something on eBay com
