Got an annoying metallic noise coming from the engine bay of my car…

Pretty sure it’s the water pump that’s at fault: there’s aprox 2mm of play in the fan blades front to back (i.e. when you give it a shake) and there seems to be some graunchy-ness if you rotate the blades back and forward (in the direction of travel). The pump is not leaking but I want to change it before it gets any worse.

Not done one of these on an Amazon before… genuine Volvo part/reproduction OK? Easy job? Hints and tips?

Any advice welcomed as always.
