Given the risk of what happens if it fails, I wont be installing one on anything but a 16V motor for testing.....

Do you have a part number? I'd be curious to see one.

I know it's mission critical (believe me I do), but if it's from a respected manufacturer then why not?

Is Beck Arnley respected in the UK? I don't think it is considered all that great here.

Metal impeller ... and what you also need to worry about is what you can't see ... the quality of the bearings.

When I said I know the consequences of cam belt failure, I wasn't joking. That's snow, not rain.

Seems to me that Beck Arnley don't make much of anything... but instead are some kind of parts aggregator - selling under their own brand/part numbers parts from other manufacturers - sometimes you get a good quality branded part and sometimes you have no idea where it came from. And you can never really know since they can switch suppliers at will...

Roger's got very decent water pumps for about $500. Go with that unless you want to use the china one for 10K miles and replace every year.
