Hi my car is going in tomorrow to have the tank etc dropped to see why my fuel sender/pump is leaking around the top seal. Its looking like the seal may need replacing. If I'm correct, does anyone have one spare or know where i can get one from, subject tomorrows outcome? Thanks!

[vocky]

think I have one (somewhere) if you need one

[morsey]

Excellent, what do you want for it. Pm me if you like

[vocky]

you can have it FOC if you need it, but I need to find it first

[morsey]

Thank you!!! I will hopefully let you know tomoz/ Tuesday! When the cause is identified.

[morsey]

Yes the garage believes it is the seal to the sender unit. Anyone else experienced this problem before??? Back order on the seals are at least ten days from Germany!!

Bloody hell......good job it's your 3rd car or you'd be in a real mess!!!!

[morsey]

I know. The empty organised garage is starting to get filled full of crap and I'm not putting things back to where they should be!! I need it back to enjoy this currently beautiful September!!!

Hello everyone:

 

It's my first time in this forum, so that i'll try to be polite, but it's probably my english level doesnt' allow me, sorry for advance

My name is Pedro, i bought my Speedster in 2006 althought was build in 2002. When i bought my car had 9000 km and it was like new.

I haven't used my car  a lot because to work i use another. After 1 year stopped now the fuel pump is broken and the mechanic trying out the fuel pump sender has broken one piece. Then i have to buy all. Anybody can say to me where can i buy it? In Spain, is very difficult to get and for me is very difficult be sure is the correct spare.

 

Thank you for advance

might be worth getting a used pump as it will be expensive new

actually quite a reasonable price from Lotus B116L6001L

 

£153 + vat

I thought that, £250 plus was the cheapest i could find!! Bargain

Thank you Vocky and Morsey:

 

Vocky, my speedster is 2.2 so i don't know if the spare that you say about lotus are the same. Are originals or used the spares in that web?

Morsey, where have you found that price?

I have found this web but i'm scared for to buy it and that this wasn't the correct spare?

By the way, how can i upload a image, because i would like show you which is the piece and how has the mechanic broken it.

 

 

Really thank you, in Spain is very difficult to buy.

 

[vocky]

the 2.2 NA and 2.0 turbo share the same fuel pump assembly, which is also used in the Lotus Europa

 

The Courtenay fuel pump does not include the parts you need, it is only the bare fuel pump, not the complete assembly

 

use Photobucket or similar to post pictures

[NihonAckleY]

Thank you very much.

 

I'm going to show you the broken piece:

The pipe with white clip is broken, if this pipe wouldn't be broken, i only have to change the fuel pump, but now he have to change all.

Obviously, i prefer the new spare, but i think i too much expensive.

Deroure isn't new, is it?

The people from courtenay say to me it's the correct spare, but i prefer advices from people without interest.

 

I'm looking in germany too, but is tiring.

 

[vocky]

Deroure is a Lotus dealer and so the complete fuel pump assembly is brand new

 

Having rechecked the Courtenay link on my laptop, it is the complete fuel pump assembly

 

But the Lotus part is £100 cheaper and exactly the same

same link as you, vocky solution sounds to me that you should snap there hand!! Great price

[NihonAckleY]

I'm glad to meet people so kind 

I have sent a e.mail to deroure for be sure there isn't any problem.

Thank you again for the help. you have foc beers here in Spain.  

 

 

[NihonAckleY]

Finally i have contacted with deroure, but they couldn't to be sure that the fuel pump sender has the same dimensions and technical specifications than opel speedster. Vocky are you sure it's exactly the same?

 

Thank you
