Terrakunzi, remember this:
The amount of heat generated by the engine changes in orders of magnitude from idling to full power operation.
So convection should provide more than enough circulation for idling operation, even with no water pump. Just ask Gerrie.

Re: Patrol 2005 3L oorverhitting.
This is not normal!!
These enines normally go between 500 000 and 600 000km before you need any work on the engine.
