Hi guys,
As I don't drive my ur nearly as much as I should/want to, the fuel pump has seized up.
I've been searching for a replacement, but haven't been able to find one with the original screw in terminals. They all seem to have threaded posts to receive an eyelet terminal.
Has anyone here had any luck sourcing an OEM fuel pump?
Thanks.

I had the same problem caused for the same reason. Couldn't find an OEM pump so just got a generic pump off Autodoc  UK. I settled on a Johns Autotelle 6.5 bar @ 120 LPM the highest pressure I could find. The  pump body was slightly longer and required a minor hacksaw and file mod on the mounting bracket. Alas none of the pumps I looked at had the correct terminals so I gave up and altered to eyelets. Shame. Nevertheless the pump works fine.
Incidentally Johns Autotelle turned out to be the name  of the German company owning Autodoc.

Thanks for the links guys,
Yeah it looks like I will have to get one without the OEM screw-in terminals.
There are plenty of options in this case.
Hopefully have it all sorted soon, been too long since I last had her out.

Right, so I've got the new fuel pump installed and finally the car is running again :)
Unfortunately, the inlet for the pump is 15mm not the standard 12mm. When I was trying to fit the original rubber hose over the inlet it started to split, it is rather old now. I've fitted a new piece of hose as a stop-gap measure.
Has anyone had any luck sourcing the OEM hose that connects the fuel trap to the pump? It's the short piece that looks like a question mark.

I actually bought a small length of fuel hose and curled it around on itself. Being a new hose, it's soft enough to fit over the larger outlet on the pump. Short term fix but it works.
Thanks for the offer though.
