Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am new to the world of the landcruiser and have some concerns about a water pump. Took my girlfriend's 96 FJ80 in for a radiator leak. The guy says that there is probably a leak around the bottom seal of the radiator to the plastic tank on the bottom. Also says there is some indication that the water pump is leaking. My question is, is this normal for 100k? The guy wants to replace the water pump and take out the radiator to have it flushed and cleaned up (previous owner must have dumped in some radiator sealant to cover up the leak for selling). The cruiser keeps a constant temp right where it should be (as far as I can tell). Is it likely that the water pump needs to be replaced as well?
Here are costs:
135 for pump plus 100 for labor
19 for thermostat plus 55 for labor
95 for cleaning crap out of radiator
Is this reasonable? Thanks for helping out a person new to Toyotas! I haven't done any repair work to one so I don't know if I'm being taken for a ride or not...
