I can try to persuade Andrew to donate the pump etc, although it could have still been in working order at the time of dismantling (the car was a non-runner as Tim had salvaged a few bits before he sold it, but he had confirmed that the ALB warning lamp had not been on when he last drove the car). ...

This post is still alive after 7 years! The club now own both tools (and a set of instructions) in the photos above if any brave soul is in a predicament :D Was trying to attach to a another post John greenrover100 from down under , IT not my forte :laughing2 got there in the end .
