New pumps, will get new replacements tomorrow. Car was running back in march as was started back then by someone and driven but they did say it wasn`t smooth

Can the metering unit be rebuilt? excuse my lack of knowledge on these  :wink:

seems strange pumps have packed up don`t you think?

Replaced the pumps, removed pipe from metering unit a lifted flap and runs for a few more seconds than it did.
So will order a metering head if I can find a decent one
