      Right Chaps,
      Sorry, the photo isn't the best quality, but is the best I can do this evening.

      The plastic cover next to the radiators blocks me on the right, and the engine block/IM on the left.

          Sorry John, I missed this, I took one of the O rings down to the local tractor shop where they have a big box of assorted O rings and sized it up. They're quite small, maybe 6mm dia?

          The ones I got were slightly bigger than the originals but fitted in ok, lubed up with Goo2000 PAS fluid

          You might find it easier in the long run to unbolt the pump from its bracket and tensioner and pull it forwards, you can get to the connections then. Having said that I don't have the rad shrouds any more with the reversed inlet manifold so mine is quite different, I've not had the pump out on the ABY yet.

            Thanks chaps.
            I'll have a go at bending the rad shroud out of the way. I hope I can with the pipes that go through it...

              I managed to get in with 3 extensions on the ratchet. Winner.

              Also managed to get the X bolt changed over. And after a but of PTFE tape, it has stopped bubbling.

              Thanks for all your advice.
