Drove to Liverpool and back this weekend and the car ran fine. When I started it in the morning a delivery driver came and spoke to me saying it sounded rough and asking why i bothered to fit throttlebodies when i could have just put a higher octane fuel in it. Apparently he had a golf and had had the head skimmed in order to give it higher compression and more power D:
Anyway once I escaped from him and got back to Suffolk Sam came round and gave me a new PAS pump which already had the inlet elbow rotate and amazingly even had the PAS relocation pipe. Had to reuse one of my bolts and crush washer from my new piping but that saved a bit of time and effort.
The relocation kit reuses a lot of the original pipes. It was stupidly easy to do and wouldnt have taken long at all to do if I had have been motivated to do it.

The pump Niall brought me is definitely newer so ill be rotating the elbow on that and keeping it as a spare. Spot the differences?

Brakes still arent assisted as I didnt have a 3/8 inch tapping bit to tap the manifold.
