[ROVERNET - UK] SD1 water pump replacement

[Kent Kinard]

Hi Gavin,
I have always used Buick pumps when replacing as they are cheap to 
rebuild and I have plenty of cores.  You will need to change fans or 
replace with electric (my preference).

I probably have a water pump pulley that will line up.   No need to 
drive the pump electrically.

roverly,
Kent K.
