Some nice engineering there - would like to know more about your water pump arrangment - have you dumped the O/E pump completly? What about the steering pump?

I was considering an electric pump and a shorter drive belt as my maestro doesn't have PAS and I've killed 2 pumps running it while dry.

I was thinking about the O/E arrangment today as I was watching the oil temp read out (only this and alternator output work on this lorry which is 15 yrs old and done over half a millon kilometers).

At initial start up does the O/E oil cooler act as an oil warmer as the coolant warms quicker than the oil?
