Assuming you have an electrical rather than the old mechanical pump. What about Car Builder Solutions in Staplehurst Selection of pumps here

I bought mine from Demon Tweeks : http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/fuel-pump...

Ask for DaveK (he's on here and Blatchat) for a discount and excellent service on all things Caterham.

Redline gets my vote, They consistently undercut Caterham parts prices and delivery is super quick and appropriately priced compared to £11 delivery for a few nuts from Caterham.

It's a shame that CaterhamParts gets a bashing, but people can only recount their own experiences. Last month I ordered 4 bolts from Caterham, P&P per website was £2.50 and they arrived the following day andIIRC the postage charge was £2.63 alone.

How much I would like to support Caterham, I must say that I now only order from them if absolutely neccesary. Apart from the parts that can be slightly more expensive, the shipping costs to the Netherlands somehow are way more expensive than other uk companies. The other thing is that most of the parts are usually 'not in stock'. biggrin

I still remember how Redline could help me instantly when I stranded in Caterham a couple of years ago. Also the few times I ordered from them, shipment didn't cost too much and I had the stuff over here within a week. Not trying to bash Caterham Cars, but they really should try to improve in my point of view.

Aeroscreens- admittedly my early experiences with Online Parts a few years ago put me off a bit and I have only made two orders from them since they re-vamped the website (which they handled fine). I'd just rather give Redline my repeat custom now- especially since they are much more likely to have parts for our older cars than Caterham parts in my experience. Redline is about the only company who I can ring up, rattle off a big ole' list of bits I need, and know that I won't be shocked when the parts and invoice promptly arrive.

And the last delivery I had was two driveshafts, packed like scull and crossbones, with the splined ends punched through the box.
The powdercoating was totally fked where the two drive shafts had rubbed together.
Lots of foam chips though.

I wonder if the guys in the packing department have any skin left on thier knuckles?
As they obviously drag them on the floor whilst they walk!

I have a Facet Red Top cylindrical one on my 1700 Xflow Super Sprint. Do not get the cheap square ones - no good. Also a good idea to get a fuel pressure regulator
