My vote is for the TR7 water pump. It seems like a yearly renewable and I
don't know what possessed them to jam it in there so you have to remove the
carbs and the manifolds before you can get to the water pump, which is
invariably stuck so tight into the engine that there's little chance of
removing it. Of course, if you do manage to remove it, you'll still have a
hell of a time trying to find a rebuild kit for it. By the time you finish
calling over to England you'll have spent almost as much as the cost of a
new pump. (Unless, of course, you're lucky enough to live over there)
