Book, covers, and all that, he will probably be here soon so lets not beat him up till he has had the chance to prove himself.

After all I don't have a clue what I am doing either yet I can pull "sealed" rad fans apart and get a good few more miles out of them can't I

Unless you drop the one you are working on that is

Its just the way he writes - he 'sounds' well dodgy!
I didn't say he was dodgy!
I'm all in favour of everyone having a go otherwise you never learn.
But I have a go at my own vehicle first and then explain what I did and how.
Good luck to him if he can do what he claims. I remain sceptical.

Photos so far:
Pump, and Pump with base removed (inlet) showing the impellor.

The commutator photo doesn't show it very well, but the dark areas are where it has been worn away completely. 4 of the 8 segments are 50% worn away completely, and the other 4 are part worn away.

Not repairable!
The pump had done 103k miles over 4 years.
