Can anyone advise how much it should (roughly) cost to have a new water pump fitted on a 2004 1.6 Ford Fiesta Ghia?

Also any suggestions on the best place to approach to have it done?

    Hi

    I just want to suggest replacing the timing belt and the tensioner when replacing the water pump. Check http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ for a rough price and check Ford parts counter at your local main dealer (I prefer original fors parts). A Ford specialist independant will do the job and save you some cash on labour.

    Water pump, cam belt and tensioner to be replaced! You will need to replace the anti-freez as well. I would replace the auxilary belt ( Alternator belt at the same time)

    Good luck
