[Healeys] Fw: County water pumps

My first brand-new County water pump failed at 1,130 miles. Its
replacement (also County) failed at about 640 miles.  The third try
(also County) has about 360 miles on it and is starting to make bad
noises.  There just must be some other brand available besides this
junk.  Oh yes...my fan belt IS NOT too tight.  Sheesh...
