what about a bit of threadlock will that work

[MrMPuk]

Maybe try some thread lock on the threads.

thread lock from halfords, comes in a small red tube. or use a nylock nut (the ones with a plastic around the top of them). Could also use a (i forget the proper name) star washer.

[Nighthawk]

That was a common problem

You can't add another nut to the end of it because of it's proximity to the pump pulley, but a liquid thread locking compound will sort it.

yeh thanks guys will get thread lock cant put a nylon nut on as the nut is part of the pump assembly and not alot of thread left.
