lucas to bosch swap - willJspears - 30-10-2013
this has probably been asked before but i'm just curious, how difficult is it to replace the lucas pump with a bosch, is it easy enough to do yourself or best to get someone with more experience to do it?

Best to search the form and you will probably find your answer
RE: lucas to bosch swap - zx_volcane - 30-10-2013
if you can change a cambelt, you can do a pump
piece of cake really
RE: lucas to bosch swap - willJspears - 30-10-2013
Yeah, that's the only bit I don't think I would be able to do, will have to do some readin up on it first

Darren put a video on youtube gives you a good idea of what to do!
RE: lucas to bosch swap - willJspears - 30-10-2013
Aright, just wanna get me car running first then figure out if I'm gonna Bosch it
RE: lucas to bosch swap - Tom - 30-10-2013
The best way to learn imo is to dive in. But make sure you have someone around to bail you out should it come to that.
RE: lucas to bosch swap - willJspears - 30-10-2013
Yeah, easiest thing is to get someone to do it for me, but I'm quite interested in how everything works and get some satisfaction when doing a job myself, but yeah, a Bosch is definitely on the cards.

It's easy if you know what you're doing I.e cambelt change, I know what I'm doing but can't be arsed with the tight space in a 306 as I don't have the experience/nack to not take all day
RE: lucas to bosch swap - willJspears - 31-10-2013
Yeah, I could probably do the cambelt if I done some more reading up on it, but don't have the time to spend hours on end doing it, would rather be confident in doing it and knowing I could get the whole lot done without any major snags. I'll wait and see how I get on sorting the stop solenoid out in my lucas first .
