Hi going to be coverting my Peugeot 405 xud from Lucas to Bosch for better power, mpg and the fact they're just better (and a bit of tuning )
I got recommended here by Piggy when I posted elsewhere. So I'm here now
Can anyone recommend where I can get this done (I'm getting parts) for a reasonable price asi don't trust myself enough.
Or, long shot, if anyone fancies giving me a hand doing it, I will provide beer brews bacon butties and a good chunk of pennies I might actually learn something that way too.
I know it's a bit cheeky asking this here when I've only just joined this forum but no point putting it off.
Thanks in advance
James
Should probably point out I'm in Preston, Lancashire, but not shy of traveling

Probably a bit far too just nip over but as I say I'm always up for an excuse to get the caravan out. Help would be very much appreciated (as I'd be sure to show!)
I've not yet got the pump, keeping eyes peeled for a cheap one to come along (aiming around £75 ish) so once I get one (soon) I'll keep you in mind if your sure your OK to help out. Be good to learn a bit more too.

You took advice from piggy? Really? Haha
Tbh your best bet is to get someone who's done it before to either be there to lend a hand or do it for you, you could try and figure it out yourself but timing it up can cause issues along with setting it up, where as people who have played with pumps before, its no bother for them! Everyone on here is friendly and I'm sure there's someone near you who can help, unless your in Scotland.
Welcome to the forum BTW

Hi I can't reply yet because of new member restrictions, but I've had a pump offered for a cheaper price. All in after that is the injectors. Not yet confirmed if I can take them from my n/a Bosch set up on my old 405, depending on result of this I may still be after those. Thanks though, the offer is appreciated

You need a Bosch pump with woodruff key pulley and pulley nut with lines and injectors all of a turbo diesel car

I've got someone who has offered to do the conversion with me so just need to get the bits together. Got pump offered, got most other bits off my old 405. It's a Bosch system but unbelievably the pump is dead. Can't use the pump anyway as it's n/a but all (except maybe injectors) can be used.

I know I'm taking injector pipes and things that can be transferred

I've got an answer to the injector query. Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but I've got a friend who runs an auto factors, so I've asked him. They are different. N/a pressures are 130, turbo are 175 so fair bit of difference. The hunt for a decent cheap set of injectors continues....
