I'm about to replace the fan on my 1996 XJS with AJ16, and while I'm there, the clutch.

While I'm there could get me into a lot of trouble, but....while I'm there should I replace the water pump? Not sure if these ever go bad, I don't hear a lot about it on the forums. A new one is about $150.

Are there any other "while I'm there" issues to consider?

Thanks.

 

I've never heard of them being a problem on the X300 forums, and I have run those engines past 200,000km with no leaks or problems. I'd leave it alone.
