LUCAS EPIC PUMP MANUAL ?

[AndyG]

Hmmm, too much torque for the auto box then? Seems unlikely.

What's the torque of an all singing dancing Granada Scorpio Cosworth Automatic

And before someone says that these are only available as manual I'VE CHECKED

[tim]

A; prefix is for manual.B;prefix is for auto. pumps ending with 9 or less.eg;8720a009a is the early type pump and will work where the pump is between 10 and 55 eg;8720a010a. the gearbox has nothing to do with the pump or ecu on a manual and a pump with the prefix b will not run on a manual,and the man is right dump the pump as there is 76 known faults with it.NOW FIX THAT

sorry got a bit muxed up here;the early pump will not work in place of the later pump and visaversa,and a b type pump for automatic will not run a manual and visaversa,anyway who cares the Bosch pump has more power more mpg and 100% reliable and simple to convert

So from this I conclude that ANY Lucas pump will work on my van, as mine is an AUTOMATIC
Does this include the 100PS pump

And did the 115PS have a different pump to the 100PS

in my experience epics last a long time if you run them on good quality derv i..e shell , esso not tesco, asda!! usually the cause of them going wrong prematurely is low quality derv or veg oil!!! there a good basic pump but do cost the earth to fix when they go wrong

Well maybe but we run a small fleet of refridgerated artics here taking meat to the continent and the very best fuel is bought and tested every six months,also we have 2 transit turbo diesels and 2 ldv turbo diesels all on epic pumps which between them have gone through 11 epic pumps,you might well say why do we have 1998-99 vans,the reason is rifridgerated cost a lot of money on day one to purchase,so the are looked after next to none.Its not what goes through them its just a good idea my Lucas that never worked
