People are probably ‘hibernating’ from the cold Ian, I’m busy tidying up a 74 D Super 🙂

The Traction had hopefully all the work done over the past 2 years, though the front silentblocks are on there way out, they will keep until next winter.

For the water pump, did you check the internal face of the casting where the seal is with the impeller removed?

The surface ‘pits’ over time and allows water to leak through and drip onto the gearbox which should be avoided as it can get to the clutch causing some problems.

Club Spares reconditioned water pumps now have that face machined as previously reconditioned ones weren’t lasting and leaking again within a year (mine did)
