So what happens if you stop paying the finance?  they repo the car but fixing it is their problem.  In some odd way that may be a better option for you than spending £2.5k.  not sure what it does to your credit history

They take it back, sell it for what they can (in this case scrap value) then he is still liable for the difference.

Not a good idea not paying the finance, end up still in debt and no car.

Nope just the one miggy!

Been on the a guy from "dieselbob" and he can sell me a pump for £1300 thats the cheapest i can get them. So if i decide to fix it. Thats the price i'll have to pay! Thanks all for your help!

Is there no way you can take these pumps to a diesel service centre and get them reconed..  I know you have mentioned they are sealed units, but I would take that with a pinch of salt from a Vx dealer.

Keep all options going matey.

Annother daft thing..  I am going back 32 years with this in mind, so may be clutching at strws.  My 1st job from school was recondotioning pumps and injecters and training as a diesel engineer (had to leave coz of dermatitus after a few weeks)  but most of the problems with one bunch of vechicles was condensation in the fuel.  Now despite all the filters and they could just not start thier units.  

Now modern cars have moved on a hell of a lot I understand that, and I admit I know knothing about the new technology.  But with the condensation thing all those years ago it's the one thing that has put me off diesels.

All I am thinking is could dirt/moisture be the simple problem.  Dealers dont do things the old fashioned way and take it off and clen it, they just keep replacing parts nd expect the customer to stump up the bill.

As I say, Just a thought.

Its often the electronics which fail in the diesel pumps, and the ecus are almost impossible to swap over.  

Will dig some photos out from when I stripped mine right down to have a look inside, then threw it out I think.  

As for recons etc, try giving a bloke a ring in Kings Lynn. He was very helpful on the phone, and prices were reasonable (however still too much for me!) http://fp.remmington.plus.com/edc%20diesel%20pump.htm
