Lucas Epic Injector Pump

[AndyG]

Hi AL
I have not forgotten about the epic fuel pump info, I have wait until the man gets back to me. DEREK

No prob. We're sitting tight and fingers crossed

Ive got a transit with a similar problem. The pump came back from the garagist in a box in bits after they wanted €2000 plus to fix.

After trying to source another pump unsuccessfully, I have bought a complete lump with manual pump etc for €200 and will be ditching the electronics. I have been advised by a(more trusted) garagist that it is better to change the whole unit rather than just the pump as the epic turbo engine has some differences. Apparently they have a tendancy to run poorly and smoke(what colour I dont know) when i different pump is attached.

Anyone with more experience of this please advise as the epic engine has bearly done 100k and it seems a shame to consign it to the rear of the shed indeffinately. I would prefer to just change the pump anyway as lifting a transit engine does nothing for the hernia.

the engine itself is almost identical so cant see it being a problem oh and if you had of said i can get epic pumps at my scrappy for £100

You will be fine with a Bosch pump on condition that you advance the timing slightly in so much as you move the pump to the end of it's adjustable slots
If you don't, it will be underpowered and will smoke as the timing is set slightly differently between the two pumps
