Mines a 2.5 but count me in as I'm sure it'll improve things and cant be too difficult to do.

Any idea what you actually get for 40 quid? It's only a piece of wire, crimps, fuse & relay!

while the bits are not that expensive may be £10 to £15 the knowledge and labour like anything cost the money . price sounds pretty fair to me but if you don,t want to pay it ....buy the bits and do it yourself .Tux

[Blu3R]

I know what you're saying but just wondering if it's wrapped or anything for that kind of money?

[GC1]

For £40 if its got a wiring diagram I'm happy......

[TuxMan]

to be honest i cannot coment on the quality of Peter's kit as i have not fitted one ,but i have bought componants from Peter which have always been delivered on time and of good quality .

Just to show you how easy it is let me explain.

The original wires which feed the fuel pump are removed and connected to the coil of the relay, this in effect turns the relay on and off instead of the fuel pump.
you then take a permenant feed via a larger cable from the battery, into an inline fuse close to the battery (this will protect the wiring in case of a short), take this cable to the relay and connect to a normally open connection, the other side of the normally open connection then goes to the pump.
the other side of the pump has a connection which you should connect to the chassis (ground).
the worst part of this operation is getting the cable from the battery, across the engine bay to the fuel pump position.

Is that it ? cant be that simple, thats like a 2hr job max and about £5 bits from work, Awesome....!

you can also take the power supply from the starter motor as well as it has a feed straight from the battery .

Exactly, hence why I'm questioning the 40 quid price tag!!
