When i replace the lift pump on a 200tdi do i need to make sure the cam is on the highest point or can i just put the new lift pump on?

no mate just wack it on, the arm will just compress to where it wants to be as you tighten it up. just get a bolt in as soon as you can then that will help hold it as you get other one in.

As with all cam lobe driven pumps make sure arm doesn't get caught under lobe when changing it.

It's nigh on impossible to get the arm under the cam, if you do manage it, you won't be able to do up the bolts, so if it's being a pain to align with the holes, then pull it back out and give it a wiggle.
