patrick green 0 Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Ok done mine & wasn't too hard bearing in mind the lack of space. The biggest problem as ever was removing those horrible clips the factory use! Theres no great gush of water when you take the pipes off or anything. The new pump does make a clicking noise on ignition but nothing like the hornets nest it sounded like before! Only one slight prob is that the new pump has a raised lip at the bottom so the rubber holder can't go all the way down which means the upper rubber holder doesn't grip it properly - isn't a biggie but bear this in mind Link to post Share on other sites
