Further to this AF thing – I had downloaded a page from the “Chain Gang” web site on how to do a coolant change but not yet read it. Just reading through it does in fact give some information. The bottom line states “That’s it. If you do not use Non-Silicate coolant you MAY end up doing the water pump replacement sooner than you should. Not proven, but the GS water pump has failed too, it’s not just a Classic problem.” So I guess the answer is in the “non-silicate” statement.
