Please help before my husband has a nervous breakdown!!!!
We have got 1984 T25 which has a replacement recon Vega engine we think 1983 1900cc. The water pump has been groaning and finally gave up the ghost on Wednesday. Matt thought he and the haynes manual would have a go. Bit of a disaster!! All bolts siezed on fly wheel and thermostat. Also to top it off we were going to order a new one and all the diagrams in JK catalogue don't look the same. We have the two pipes on the left of the pump and one that feeds straight into the other side. There's no return like in the picture. Thermostat is situated on the top. To top it off tonight he tried to open the tailgate and the lock pushed through arrrggggg.
