Well I've now put the oil pump back together
Whoever designed it's location in the Wedge should be shot !!
Power steering and rad hoses get in the way and after 2 hours off getting it on and tight it still bl**dy weeps
Also found a water hose from bottom of rad that will probably let go on the way to LeMans so need to order some samco replacement. I think its 2 9- degree bends feeding a tube which appears to be 30 mm diameter
Took it out for a spin and all seems fine again with good pressure, so now be doing an oil change at weekend
Just got the following to do before LeMans
change gear box oil
change rear dif oil
replace rear brake hose with braided hose
replace bottom rad water hose
replace thermostat
replace radio with usb type radio for longer tunes
replace fan belts
Oh well I suppose I have a couple of weeks !!

got my old waterproof high vis jacket, so could be useful for when it pours down at LeMans 
Paul - I'm not sure that is suitable..Here's the info I have :
From July 1 2008, it is a legal requirement for all vehicles to carry one warning triangle and one reflective (fluorescent) safety jacket.
The safety jacket must be stored inside the car somewhere easily accessible such as under your seat or in your glove box but not in the boot. In the event of breakdown, emergency or stopping for any other situation, the safety jacket must be worn by the driver before getting out of the vehicle. The jacket must conform to EU Regulations, Directive 89/686/EEC, if the jacket bears the CE mark it should comply to this standard.
The warning triangle may be carried in the boot. The driver must immediately place the triangle at least 30 metres from the vehicle so that it can be seen by all approaching traffic. The triangle must conform to the Geneva regulation number 27, bearing a mark with an E and 27R.
Anyone found to not carrying a safety jacket and warning triangle could be subject to a fine between €90 and €135 from 1 October 2008.
