Friday night on the way home from work ,The 19 dies on a busy road :(
After a quick check i figure out the fuel pump thats been whining for the last 7 years have finally died . I push the car to the nearest side street and get a lift with my mate (yes i have the odd one :P
Come back saturday morning and give RAC man a call so that he beams us up to mine . As it happens i have a spare fuel pump and i decide to take the short/smart way to replace it .
The complete swap job from start to finish took less than an hour and i did take my time .
Pics do rest of the talking ;
The new pump to go in

succesfuly rebored his F7P bottom end to a whopping 2.0 litre :lol:
