This car is for sale at Matthewsons auction in November Forum won’t let me paste a link….

Yes, give it a go. I built my first MK2 loom and didn't know which pin did what, 9v clicked the relay and I built it around that. 85 / 86 close the contacts 30 - 87, let there be light

You can use a 9v tv remote type battery to test a relay in conjunction with a multimeter, the pins spacing on the battery means you don’t need wires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The relays will be the same, switch them around to prove your theory? Get someone to operate the switches whilst touching the relays to feel for the click

I have H and R ARBs I bought off Billcor on the forum 8 / 10 years ago, unused in my garage loft

I think easypops has the solution using a bicycle cable welcome to the forum

I suspect the gellifying of modern E10 fuels causes starvation due to choking the pump via the screen to the point the screen gets sucked into the pump causing a bigger issue than the Gell?

I'm sure I saw it advertised last year as needing bodywork?

Pirtek do all sorts of hydraulic fittings, usually you’ll find one locally to you

As have most classics post COVID boom Any old owners tempted back?

It's still in its box lol, too much other stuff going on atm, want to drain the tank as I suspect the pre filter was blocked leading to it going missing and ultimately seized the pump.

Written off?

Exactly that, the 4 bar thing just muddies the water and in practice how often do our 30 year old cars go above a license losing 100 MPH or climb a steep incline at full throttle? If you're big power / turbo'd then you need to look at fuel delivery carefully.

It was cheap lol. The 2 above have smaller pump intakes and gauze filter screens so will block easier with debris and Gell from modern fuels - if you have a petrol mower drain the tank and see the floaters therein. I suspect they're pretty much all the same anyway.

I've bought this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204942699313?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11051.m43.l1123&mkcid=26&ch=osgood&euid=dc3b4383eb1b4ba199db00fc3817e515&bu=44277270804&osub=-1~1&crd=20240910094419&segname=11051

The fuel pump pre filter sections look approx half the diameter of the OE pumps? So could possibly block quicker with debris from our 30 year old fuel tanks?

Withstand- sounds like the point of failure? Deliver X LPM @ 4 bar working pressure (set by FPR on the fuel rail). If fuel returns to the tank the pump is achieving the preset of the FPR? You then need the LPM to achieve whatever the engine demands under load? Anyway, the GSF pump I fitted 10/12 years ago after the OE caused issues at low fuel levels when navigating roundabouts (rubber pump mounts were dissolved) has seized causing my non start issues (I have a nice spark at the plugs). On removing the pump anything rubber - pump mounts, pump seals and even the large tank seal is softened to the point of liquorice, even the gauze pre-filter at the end of the pump has collapsed. I'd recommend anyone thinking of replacing their pump only into their existing swirl-or to inspect it prior, anyone smelling fuel inside the car inspect their main tank / pump seal. So I too am in the market for a full pump / swirl pot assembly. Only use E5 fuels in your Corrados to extend the life of your rubber fuel parts.

Pumps don’t deliver pressure do they? they pump litres per minute? Figures below are for representative purposes only (mental arithmetic) a pump may deliver 5 LPM open ended, 4 LPM @ 1 bar, 3.5 LPM @ 2 bar, 2.5 LPM @ 4 bar. . if a VR6 engine does 4.5 MPG (4.5L is one gallon) @ 120 MPH (2 miles per minute) the pump needs to deliver 2 L @ 4 bar or above to fuel the engine? I spent 21 year working in a dairy with huge pumps, they were always rated at LPM @ a given pressure a 4 bar pump is meaningless without delivery volume and vice versa?

If you have vcds you can view the temp sensor readings.

I have, but fla has first refusal if I decide to sell
