hmm change pump.. or change whole lump

[acarpen9]

Hi.. again.

3 probs fixed, another one comes.. and bigger each time.

Now have fuel pissin out the Lucas Cav pump, getting bit sick of entire system, more leaks than a collinder, Lump now near refuses to start and cuts out a short time after firing up. Effectively no van at minute.

So, am toying with ideas, first of all, where the leak is from is it just a repairable seal on the shaft? Starting to consider the costing of buying another Lucas Cav pump, cost of fitting, on what is a tired engine is it really worth it, what will die next..... would it be more cost effective to buy a newer banana lump and have that fitted instead..

Have you guys upgraded a lump rather than continuing to battle against Lucas Cav pumps, or is it cost effective to switch to a bosch injector setup, bearing in mind I have to factor in labour costs, as not sure how to do such things.

Thanks again

That's the wrong pump for that engine anyway, it should have a Bosch pump.

Plot thickens.... Reg Doc says it's auto petrol. A mere identity crisis, or bas*ard offspring of Satan??

That engine looks like mine, a 70ps Di, but the Lucas pump is a bit of an oddment as they haven't used them since the Mk4

with that inlet manifold it should have a bosch pump..more than likely its had a engine and box change then if it say auto and petrol on the log book..
