Hi Guzzio, may be just bad luck...
But I had the same experience, after approx. one year after replacing again a waterpump failure. My local independent (but LR specalised) garage replaced the pump without costs. That is now some years ago, so the replacement is still working good without leaking. So, off to your garagist...

Hmmm ... thanks for the answer VeeTee. I hope it's just another bad pump again. I have faith in my local garagist, so back to the workshop ... or i do it myself. Can't be that hard!?
But i wonder ... could it be that the little drive shaft (don't know how do you call it in proper English) that makes the water pump turning, is just a little bit 'outlined' so it makes the water pump fail time after time? Just thinking loud ... |

Ah, i now see you are talking about the TD5, these use a different design waterpump (the well known P-gasket failure is a 300Tdi thing). Then could be a O-ring leaking?
