Pull the badge off and the rubber, clean everything up then put silicone around the holes on the flat bodywork. Push rubber backing onto silicone. i cant remember if there is fixings that go through the bodywork.

I use ciff with lots of warm water, tis easy work.

is the starter and battery ok, ie, turning over fast enough?

Are you using the cold start? Some motors get used to starting with it when cold.

Contact DVLA, they will supply a copy of all the info they have on the vehicle. Tis interesting reading!

Don't bother with a recon, get a new one. Bought mine from http://www.hamlinsengineering.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They are based in my home town and gave good service.

Problems occur when over tightened!

It will run on over a certian temp.
It also spins over as you use the starter motor, to stop it siezing.
Put your hand on the pump and get someone else to start the van. You will feel it run at the same time the starter is turning over.

Is the pump off the JX engine?
