Ok,I had thought of putting another condenser on the vac switch, so would I wire it across the earth that the vac switch provides and the ign+ power in?
I.e. across the 85 and 86 terminals of the relay?
I have one coming anyway so might give it a go, not much too lose
Or should I get another better quality relay?
Why don't you just bebuild the original pump? It's just a matter of drilling out the rivets, pulling it apart in two pieces. Apply new sealant, then replace the rivets with small bolts with nylocks. The pressure strains the rivets and causes an eventual leak, otherwise there is nothing else that usually goes wrong with the pump.
The electrical option seems too unreliable from your experience, and since it's there to control the brakes, why not return to the more reliable mechanical option. The fix should be under $10.
Mine didn't leak. Some small plastic bits inside broke.Quote:

Condenser across the vac switch, cos that's where the arcing would be taking place, or look at your relay and get a major brand name one with a suppressor fitted. I used to only use Bosch or Hella relays by choice, no idea how good they are now.Quote:

it's proven too be very unreliable so will be removed and I'll go back too the standard pump,can't say I didn't try I guess....
