Does anyone know of supplier of stainless steel exhaust for this car or a firm that custom makes exhausts, preferably in the Berkshire/Oxfordshire/Surrey area?

AC Weller Engine / Water pump and Fan belt

« on: October 01, 2017, 10:19:00 »

I have recently bought a 2 litre saloon and have some essential maintenance items which are causing me a problem which I am sure you experienced forum members can help me with.
   My water pump has failed and I will replace it.  However despite removing the retaining nuts I cannot separate it from the block - presumably it has not been removed for many years and the two studs which locate it on the block have corroded into the body of the pump and prevent me levering it off.  I have applied penetrating oil and used as much leverage as possible but it is solid - any good ideas?
   Second, although the basic handbook says that the four small bolts holding the fan can be loosened to provide adjustment for the fanbelt this seems not to be the case on my car. How do I adjust something to create some slack to remove/replace the fan belt?  And wouldn't such an adjustment make the fan's motion eccentric??
   Thanks in advance
