Default Puddy cat hot under the collar

Hi I am just aut to change the water pump on my Xj8...(I'll do the stat at the same time).I have a couple of questions.
well ok three q's

1. Anyone know where in the uk is the best price for these?(I got a great guy on ebay (£77) but he's away till end Aug).

2. Whats the best way to flush it to make sure that all those rouge impellers don't trash her new pump?

3. Is there anything I might benefit from knowing about this task
(I have change w/pumps on every xj6 I have owned but not on the v8)

Thanks in advance and I do hope to contribute to the group not just leech tech know how
