Door mirror, switches will need cleaning https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=233971
Water pump has a rubber gasket iirc, might need changing.

Which engine do you have?
To be honest, by the time you tear it all down you're as well to replace the lot.

We have an upcoming deal with the original supplier of waterpumps to MG Rover - they'll likely outlive a lot of cars they're fitted to.
That'd be ideal for making sure it doesn't happen again.
