The fuel pump packed in last week. I have phoned a few motor factors today but no luck. Has anyone on here bought one recently and if so where from?
Thanks in advance

I bought one from a seller called "simonbbc" on eBay ... he was decent to deal with and I had it the next day.

Its best to take a new feed from the battery via a fuse then fit a relay in the boot then use the excisting feed for the switching ..

Stick a meter on your live feed,the volt drop is appalling.

Or put a decent gauge cable in there feeding the fuel pump in the first place then there's no need to - there's nothing magical about running a dedicated feed from the battery and using a relay in the rear and if you do it properly in the first place (by using an appropriate gauge cable) then you don't need to do that. biggrin
