That said, I can't remember 30 days back

I'm not surprised ,with the speed at which you and Flack get the work done it'd be a push to remember a couple of days back!

This is to say many thanks to Disco_Mikey for the supply of the genuine FoMoCo oil pump and cam belt etc. I had fitted a Bearmach pump but had the crankshaft seal pop out after a self inflicted overheat of the engine. Also the plastic cooling housing that sits in the 'vee' had split and was leaking badly. So I replaced the housing and fitted a new seal to the Bearmach. But I was concerned that this may not last, so got the genuine stuff from Mike. I spent all day Saturday(31st.) fitting the new pump, belt, tensioner, etc., and am now more at ease with the set up. Biggest time consuming problem was the pigging starter motor. Amazing how sometimes it goes in and out no problem, and sometimes it takes forever!! The crankshaft seal was in fact still in place on the Bearmach pump, but as some of you have had the seal come out after about 2000k and I was getting up to that mileage, I'm glad that I have now done what is, I hope, a more permanent fix.

Again, many thanks Mike for supplying proper parts at a competitive price.

I notice that the price of the Bearmach pump has almost trebled in price.

That to me, says they have ditched their own design of pump, and using a different one now, or
They have inflated the price massively to cover any warranty claims

Regardless, even cost price for the pump is more than the retail price of the OEM pump from Citroen/Peugeot
