    first it should be up to the mech to fix for free (assuming it is something they left undone etc...) either way they should be able to troubleshoot for free.
    if you cant get back there soon enough though check over it yourself and see what you can see... if something isnt put back properly youll spot it.

    failing that start checking the usual suspects, water in electrics such as coil / dissy area, as well as the afm. it might have been bumped and it seems a ripe old age they are starting to fall to bits easy.

    goodluck mate.

    If you have cooked it when the pump went? keep your fingers crossed it is not the head. The mechanic would be a real dill not to pick it up, but just happened to me.

    Try reseting the computer, disconnect the battery for half an hour that resets the ecu, It could have picked up on the failed water pump and gone into some kind of protection mode.
