Just an update on the pump leak. Did as Dave suggested while i am waiting for the new seal, I cleaned up old seal, turned it, then placed an extra washer over it, works a treat :ok

new seal arrived in post, 10 min job to fit now works perfect. Now the bad news, it looks like i have another fuel leak, this time between the top half of the pump and body? It was noted when testing the throttle, that diesel started to seep out on acceleration? not a lot but obviously of some concern. I have tried to source here how easy it would be to change the gasket, but no luck. So would appreciate any help on that one. Summer has arrived here finally :)
