    Currently using an unbranded indian? pump installed early hits year with two gaskets and which is satisfactory so far.....

    Unless I've missed it while reading through this thread - nobody else has mentioned the use of 2 or more gaskets when fitting a new one (to reduce the stroke slightly) - a pump life extending tip recommended to me by LR experts and at least one parts retailer in Sydney.

    Yep the 2 gasket trick is the go. the supplier who i got my pump off just gave me 2 gaskets without even asking me. I assumed it was the normal thing to do now?
