kilokilla 0 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 they are not to expensive to buy but can be a bit of a twat to fit mate as you need to raise that end of the engine a bit to remove and refit them i get a good strong bit of wood stick on trolley jack so as not to damage sump then undo rear engine mount and carefully jack engine up with wood between jack and sump make sure piece of wood is longer than sump from front to rear so as to evenly distribute weight then jack up just that end of engine swap over pump and lower jack and rebolt engine mount if your local to stoke on trent i can do the job for £20 plus parts think its about £30-£40 for pump but been a while since i needed one so not sure.oh and belts are bloody dear for what they are i think its about £20 for the non aircon 1 and a bit more for the aircon 1s.
