After much discussion with him in France, we decided to have the pump reconditioned. The price for parts & labour is going to be around the £450 mark.
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
Several factors were discussed: 1. Once the pump is reconditioned then we shouldn't have any problems with it
2. I wasn't sure if I could fit a JCB engine in the back of my Astra Estate!!
3. Would be have the same problem with another engine in a few days/weeks/months time?
4. Time - pump will be ready to collect Thursday pm, ferry is booked for Friday lunch time.....
So, after umming for quite a while, we decided, recond the pump, when we are back in the uk in a few weeks, bring the LDV minibus, take out some seats and collect a spare engine then.
