ahh rite, that will be fine with me. expensive job just for a leaking pump !

Think it was £123 for the pump. i got quoted £150 from a place on the net for my pump to be refurbed. dont really know anywhere who refurb pumps. never owned a french car before lol !

just wondering if i need to remove the exhaust and heat shields
Re: PAS Pump Fitment time and rough cost to expect ? Wrexham / chester , north west a

Fred what else do i need,new pulley, auxillary belt ...
