Thanks to Sewerman for allowing me to buy his spare ubp at the Four Ashes Meet his afternoon. I was having problems with my ‘new’ under bonnet diesel pump. I purchased this from Rimmer Bros. Around 9 years ago as a spare that was kept in the boot. My old pump, 105,000 miles was making a noise, but still working, but seeing that I had the spare, decided to change it. Bad move all round. After changing it, found it was leaking. Repeated the operation and it sill leaked. Tried different clips to fit the pipe but still leaking.
It was suggested that the pump itself might be leaking at the bottom. Did not want to think I had taken it off three times at Nano for nothing. But along came a knight in shining armour in the guise of Sewerman. He offered me his spare which like me kept it in the boot ‘in case’. Fitted this and guess what..................it did not leak. Just to let Sewerman know, I got home to Great Barr, put the car in the garage..............and the bottom of the pump was bone dry.
Thanks again mate. I will get in touch with Rimmer Bros and see if there is anything they are willing to do although it is well out of guarantee. Will let you know at the October Nano Meet. Last one of the year.
