That's what happens when a bit of some kind of debris locks the metal water pump up.

Would have just taken the impeller off a plastic one. Fitted for a reason. :whistle:

Begs the question of what on earth have you got floating around your coolant system that can do that ?

It was some bit of fairly tough plastic. Can happen if the bearings seize which is more likely with metal too!

Because the water pump threw the cambelt and bent the valves I'd guess
