Farq!!!

There is a good chance your existing one is good to use. Strip it and inspect it, replace the seals if it all measures up okay and has no major scoring inside the pump. So long as there has been no solids go through the pump its probably okay to use once the seals are replaced... its the best lubricated part of the engine Make sure the relief valve is set correctly and sliding smoothly!

Cheers mate will give that a bash

An update after such a long time.

The engine is ready to go back into the body. This will take place tomorrow.

Any one interested in donating some gearbox oil, a battery and some coolant

These are the last things I need to get her back up and running. Let's hope she lasts now

After almost 6 years I have finally just started adding fluids to the car.
