alternator belt
water pump, thermostat & seal
side flange (plastic)

everything is ordered apart from the rocker cover and the new suspension... all just has to go on now

yes... says alternator belt and water pump!! 

[Guy]

things are becoming frustrating... cannot change alternator belt because the water pump needs replacing

cannot change water pump because the alternator needs to be removed

cannot remove alternator because the hex head is rounded

Welcome to old car ownership, when it goes right it's all the more sweeter.

12mm socket and a hammer are your friend.

new microwave alarm and sounds fitted... priorities on the sounds are questionable coming before all the other stuff has been sorted... but at least I can drown out the sound of the water pump now!
