Just waiting to hear back from this one as to the condition of the shaft splines.

Also inquiring if a local engineering firm can make a new shaft

Wow that's unbelievable as back in 2014 they had lots in stock at the factory so Dick Lovetts told me.
Matt @conaero have you got anything in your shed or at the workshop ?

 

[Oneball]

It’s seems I will not be able to get a new pump. Eurospares and Scuderia car parts have both stated it’s discontinued and no stock available.
Does anyone have one in their shed?!

Have you spoken to Meridian Modena? Think from memory Ross is the man to speak to.

 

[safrane]

And 10% off from Ross for the forum (if not I also get 10% off as part of their parts club)

 

[Matt82]

I’ve bought the the one off eBay now, on conformation that the shaft splines are good and there’s no corrosion.

Hopefully it turns up in the condition described!

 

[Matt82]

Thanks for the info on Meridian, I’ll give them a call if the one I have bought isn’t up to scratch.

 

[philw696]

The only problem with a used one is the water pump.
The oil pump on mine internally was like new at 90,000 miles.
The water pump is the weak link.

 

[Matt82]

Yes definitely, the oil side of mine is perfect. Ideally I would have bought a new one, but not at £2600.

The chap I’ve bought it off has stated the water pump shaft looks good, we will see when it arrives!

I’m going to try and strip my old water pump down and see if I can get a new shaft made, should then be able to replace the seals for a refurbished unit maybe

Just spoken to Ross at Meridian

The pump is discontinued and they ran out of stock in 2018

 

[philw696]

Wow that's unbelievable as I was told in 2014 they had 1500 in-stock then.
Been a few failure's then I guess.

 

[Scaf]

Makes you wonder if everyone will need to buy a spares car to keep theirs on the road.
Maserati really should look after their older cars.

 

[philw696]

F430 owners need to be thinking about it as well I reckon.

 

[jasst]

Whish I had bought it myself now, as a just in case.!

Does seem like a lot of failures in four years

That's rather worrying.

 

[Matt82]

I’ve been looking at the F430 pump in case there was any interchangeability, they have different part numbers. However, it looks as though the only difference is the connection point for the pipe from the reservoir (oil side)
430


4200


It looks as though the water pump side is the same so it may be of use, if split from the oil pump.
I’ll have a call around tomorrow to check on stock of the F430 pumps stock.

Voicey should be able to give us a low down if the two can be swapped.
