call the punter and explain the situation
then they can make the decision as to eather or not to get it fixed or not

sorry should of made it clearer dojj, i've bought the car for scrap money got it home and it looked too good to scrap so thought i'd fix it, If i know its got bent valves then i'll scrap it, but i've just had it running on whats left of that water pump and i think its ok, hard to tell with the noise and vibration from the pump and also didn't want to run it for too long like that.
I'll spend the Ł28 on a pump and try it i think, if its ok i'll them get a belt for it too, that way i won't be throwing too much money away if it's scrap.

if it's been running ok with the pump in that state you may have got lucky, but i'd keep the recipt for the pump
