Default lr4 water pump failure?

is it possible for an LR4 water to fail w/ 43k on the odometer? Mine seemed to be noisey for a few mile then just let go....coolant everywhere.

Sure is, better deal with it before some major damage occurs.

ots an LR4 so it may still be under warranty, bring it to the dealer and have them fix it (hopefully free of charge). Any vehicle can break down, donw matter how knew, or how many miles. Just get it serviced before it turns into something even more serious.

Update.
BIG coolant mess!
called LR assist.
they sent Bubba Big Rig and his flatbed- maybe he knows Fords and Chevys but not LR. Uses his j-hooks and just starts grabbing for something solid under the vehicle. I show him the front recovery loop and he say he never uses thoses points, "they are just for looks". leaves Rover in park because he can't find where to but the key in the dash (smart key-dumb operator, won't listen to me) and proceeds to drag Rover up the deck. However, it slide easy due to the freezing rain that had coated everything. 3hours late Rover arrives at dealership and I'm driving my 95 Diso 1.
Land Rover ownership at its finest.

The dealer isn't responsible for towing. Its roadside. Trust me Seen the roadside guys do some pretty stupid stuff over the years on every make and model. Tie rods front and rear bent to ****, bumpers nearly pulled off. Trust me these guys don't care. And whatever you do don't break down on the thruway. The thruway has its own guys and they care even less.
