Having sent off my application form for the MG Car Club Tyne Tees Centre Cobweb Run on 26th April, I decided it may be a good idea to have the TA running. It was out of action with a duff fuel pump and I'd bought another pump, but it wasn't a direct replacement for the existing SU pump and would need some work to fit it, mainly draining the petrol tank of about 6 gallons of fuel.
I had no suitable containers for this quantity of fuel, and there was no way it was going in my wife's car, so I had a change of plan.
Liberal applications of WD40 finally got my wallet open, and when I recovered from the shock of the price, I bought a direct replacement solid state SU pump from Moss.
It was waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday, and I fitted it this afternoon in about 15 minutes. After the customary two or three tries, the engine rumbled into life.
All I have to do now is have a quick run round with the grease gun, and change the oil in the rear brakes (well it is a TA).
