    Just a thought
    Is a temporary solution to by pass the pump with some hose? Would this suffice for basic town / highway driving?

    I'm guessing it's for a 300 tdi? If so, sometimes you can get away without a pump, the injector pump will suck it from the tank if already primed.

    Gday Dave and thanks for the offer which I have just seen now.
    Yes that's exactly what I did.
    It got me home no worries.
    Bit of an anxious drive as I bought the car yesterday - it had been parked for about a year and is a bit neglected.

    IF you want a hand with other bits on the vehicle let me know, I'm setting up the xmas run north ATM.

    nope, retired and started a hobby business being a grease monkey to fill in time.

    I do a run every 3-6 months north to spend time with the boys or if customers want a run done. So far Mckay is as far as I've been directly for spanner spinning type work but I also cover off on expedition support stuff so that lead to a cape trip and theres another coming in july next year..

    Company name is RoverShed Services. its on FB and the interwebs in rough format.

    oh, and you need to empty your inbox...
