Lucas to Bosch help - simonson1982 - 24-08-2015
My car is going under the knife today to get a Bosch replacement pump. I understand the pump timing needs to be altered once fitted. Is there a specialist tool needed to do this or is there just a simple way of doing it? Cheers

If you're referring to advaning/retarding the pump timing, it's a matter of 'rocking' it on it's pulley mounting.
By rocking i don't mean similar to backwards and forwards constantly; more just moving it slowly. I'm inclined to suggest you do it when the engines off, retard/advance as necessary, start it up, how's it sounding/looking etc.

Make sure you get a Bosch Pump bracket as-well or move the studs in the Lucas one or the timing will be way off.
Only tool you'll need to adjust the Pump timing is a 13mm spanner - as said above loosen it off and push the pump forward or back
RE: Lucas to Bosch help - ginge191 - 24-08-2015
NOTE: The 13mm bolt UNDER the pump ; is the absolute LAST bolt to tighten up. Once it's done, it's done, you'll never want to touch it again

Just remove aux belt. Loosen bottom bolt on alternator remove top bolt and lean it forward. Easy to get to then.

Ok so we've encountered first problem. How do we wire the bosch pump so its not effected by the Lucas immobiliser? The Lucas has two sets of plugs and the bosch only seems to have one?cheers

Just find the 12v ignition live using a multimeter.
Normally its the Red wire I've found.
RE: Lucas to Bosch help - simonson1982 - 24-08-2015
What happens to the rest of the wires that where in the Lucas are they needed?

RE: Lucas to Bosch help - simonson1982 - 24-08-2015
Should the pump be quite stiff to turn over by hand?

Yes - and will 'jolt/jump' every quarter turn when turning by hand/spanner
RE: Lucas to Bosch help - simonson1982 - 24-08-2015
