Reseaching the archives and finding some great material!

Including an exciting trip to a mine.

The van is an '84 - used to have a 1.9l engine but it was upgraded to a
2.1l.

I notice on Ken Wilford's page that there are different pumps. I know I
had a water pump put into the old engine as it came with the van when I
bought it in 2001.

So now I'm wondering if  this is a different pump and do I need to call
them to ask. Hmmm.
