Will do when I get home tonight. Engine supplied is actually a P38 unit but the pump is an unknown

Yep, this is working, had the outlet pipe off the diesel filter and is pumping through with the ignition on

Spent some time on the phone today with Mozz and have sorted out my key fob problems :) Turns out I had the incorrect EKA code despite the guy I bought it off insisting it was the correct code :rolleyes: Now have the right one and did the 4 left turn process which turned off the alarm...

Managed to squeeze in some more work today, just odds n sods really. Sorted the Ignition Key warning on the dash, tried graphite powder in the ignition barrel but failed to resolve. Ended up removing the steering lock barrel and cleaning it out with some alcohol (no brake cleaner left) and...

More work today Solved the passenger door problem, wiring connector in the A pillar was corroded, cleaned it up but still no banana. Had already diagnosed the fault as 2 wires had no continuity but cleaning up the terminals made no difference, closer inspection revealed a pin was missing from...

More punishment today. Engine is now wrapped, replacement intercooler hose turned up this morning along with injector socket, key fob repair kit, fog light switch and side repeaters. Fitted injector with needle lift sensor, intercooler pipe, new oil and filters for the engine. When...
