My advice is if you must chance it, use a payment method like Paypal that limits your exposure but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Well it's hardly a "must". It's obviously a gamble. And there's 180 days to dispute it with the PayPal resolution center.
And, like the old saw from Herodotus goes, "who knows what might happen... perhaps the horse will learn to sing".
And it's only £40 (plus a repair kit and some effort) against £270 for a new pump.

Read their terms and conditions !! Believe me I am sure it is a scam site, if you search you will find several more sites all with the same advert, some with different prices.

https://www.blingsavvyz.top/index.php?m ... _id=396448 This one is even cheaper at £34.80 and I love the name "BLINGSAVVY" !!
The advert is "ripped off" from Robsport when they did sell them. Below is the title of a current Robsport eBay ad, look familiar??, Note the ** around the water pump bit.
"Triumph TR7 STAG ** WATER PUMP REPAIR KIT inc. gaskets** Dolomite Sprint / 1850"
You have to "sign up" to place your order. The freepost always seems to be just below the price of the item !!! If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, it is a rat!!
When you click through to make a purchase and select "paypal" it goes to another website briefly first before going to paypal - wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it. There is no data check on validity of your address or postcode or phone number either - just been through the process with false data to "check it out". A legit site would have bounced my "purchase".
I would say it is more than a gamble with £40, you are possibly gambling with giving access to your paypal account - so if you still think it is worth a try I would change your paypal password as soon as you have completed the transaction.
Of course I could be wrong, I often am

, but in this case I don't think so.
