SVO water pump

Yes - well really a 1986, but same thing. It's pretty basic, not much to it and you have lots of room to work. No need to take out the radiator or fan shroud. Just make sure the surfaces are clean. Get a Ford water pump. and you might want to replace the t-stat while your at it.

Check your exhaust manifold and see if it is cracked also. You want an E6 not the E3 which is the original design and prone to cracking.

If your new to these cars you will find that tons of the maintance is simple.

The one I used to dislike the most was doing a new oil feed line. It's not bad when you know what your doing but when you don't know it's pretty hard.
