Hi, I've just joined the forum because I need an oil pump, spade type, 3 bolt I believe for A+ engines.
I can drive within a couple hours of warminster today to collect.
Cheers

Somerfords in Calne are probably your nearest.

Don't forget to put a squirt of oil in the pump and rotate it a couple of times, before you fit it, with a new paper gasket.

Make sure the bolts holding the oil pump don't bottom out, as some oil pumps are thinner than others,

Hi there and welcome to the forum.
Be sure to strip the pump apart and clean it before fitting. Some are clean and some not. Best not to make any assumptions.

Excellent advice, the last 3 I've taken apart to check tolerances all had tumbling media dust left in them, plus it gives you the opportunity to remove the flashing burrs from the casting, I use petroleum jelly in the pump as engines can sit for along time before being installed and fired up.
