Well, if a job's worth doing...   ;D

Of course, I neglected to mention that it's a different engine and box that'll be going back in along with a 3rd foot pedal  ;)

Retrofitted a second hand aux water pump as it hasn't been in my car up to now.  :o I found the place of inlet and outlet pipes had been blinded on the main radiator, electrical connector in good condition so it's not a big deal I'm feeling quite well though... ::) Thought much cheaper to buy an aux pump than to change a head gasket that's may failing because of frequent afterboiling... :y
