lol! Just picked up my LSD last night.

And on the way home my fuel pump packed in! FFS!

Came home on the back of a low loader, rocking up at home at 2.30am when you've got to be up at 6.30am for work, is not the best way to start your week!

New fuel pump ordered off fleabay, should be here Weds, might even get chance to fit the diff in the meantime. Fingers crossed.

BTW, what oil do I need to put in the diff?

Fuel pump rebuilt.

Bit of a f**k about since the pump I got off ebay was different to the one installed. I had to adapt the wiring connectors and replace the fuel pipe, plus the rubber seat at the bottom doesn't quite fit as it should. But it's back together.

Twice when trying to refit the pump in the tank the damn strainer at the bottom has fallen off and into the tank. After fishing it out twice I've decided to secure it with contact adhesive before putting it back in the tank. I'm now at work all night and all day tomorrow, will attempt to refit tomorrow night before The Helmsley TT on Sunday!
