@pete.chivers18 What colour coolant you running? Heard from and old fella who used to work for toyota, that the red factory coolant renders the water pump tell tail to go brittle quicker than the green stuff. I myself haven't tried it though but worth a shot.

I'm running red coolant and aftermarket water pump, it's going fine also c/o timing belt at the same time ;)
