That sounds like the injector pump, rather than the lift pump. It may just want new seals, in which case somewhere like Thames Valley Electro Diesel (near Reading), will be able to do it for about £80.

The problem with injector pumps is once you take the pulley off (which you have to do to remove the entire unit), there is no woodruff key on it, which means you cannot put the pulley back on in the right place. Unless, you have all the relevant specialist tools.

so basically cut a long story short its guna cost a shed load of money to fix  :shock: :'(

Thames Valley Electro Diesel charge me abiut £80 a unit to replace all the seals and put it back together. I would think there is a similar place near you to do it.

[mikiep1986]
