I am afraid I did not fair well when I bought an under bonnet fuel pump from Rimmer’s. Well Over £100.00. It was kept in my boot for around 8 years as a spare. When I fitted it at one our Nano meets at Four Ashes, because the original one had become noisy, I thought that the clips used on the rubber pipes, top and bottom, were not tight enough because there was diesel on the bottom of the pump. Tried three or four times to stop it leaking. Steve (Artic) tried to get the clips tight, but there was still diesel on the bottom of the pump. He said it seems as though the casing was leaking at the bottom of the pump. I think it was Sewerman who stepped in with a cheap underbonnet pump, and I fitted that. No diesel on the bottom of the pump, and is still in use now. Not quite so quiet as the original, but it works. Could not send the one back as it was well out of warranty.
