Thanks all for your comments;
Took it apart today. The water pump has failed and the head gasket has blown as well. I checked the piston rings and fortunately they seem ok.
Now I just have to wait to experience the joys of shipping parts to Mauritania!
Steve - just about to send you a PM. If you have a copy of the workshop manual in emailable form, Id really appreciate a copy!
Island Hopper - Good observation re: cylinder head nuts. They were a lot looser than I expected.
cheers
