    Water pump is still dripping like a tap – new parts on order and I will do this as soon as they arrive

    As posted by L.Lewis – when you take the pump apart, behind the impeller where the seal sits needs to be machined flat as it ‘pits’ and leaks, to make up for the metal removed you add a spacer.

    Not doing it properly = leaking pump seal again, if not immediately, it won’t take long to start and you really want to avoid water getting to the clutch.
