I wouldn't be too concerned - as long as the gears are ok it will pump plenty

Check it against a straight edge while it's off - it might be bowed anyway. Some light scoring is OK though.

You can have them skimmed back to flat for not much dosh.

ISTR the car had the oil pump replaced before i got the car, so it should have had a very easy life. Are you having fun richard?

Wow, you have a garage, and a car, and a floor. You WIN! I will try to get to the post office tomorrow, if the snow isn't too bad.
