    Thanks for the link mate, would you happen to know a rough price of how much they would set me back?

    Yeah, it's in the car, in the boot.
    I could probably live with it, it'll just shit me up the wall.

    It's an AE71 my friend. With all the fuel system in the boot.
    Yeah, the in-tank lift pump that I was using was a VL item, however it wasn't a new one, I just picked it up from pick-a-part, so that's probably why it's fucked.
    I like what you did with your system mate, flaring the ends and whatnot. Dope solution.

    So yes, because I have done exactly what you have done with modifying the cradle, i'm already set up for this option. It just so happened that the pump fucked out.

    But I don't think that it was noisy due to the fact it had to suck fuel... It wasn't sucking anything because the lift pump wasn't providing it with anything to suck. However, this should in theory mean it'll quieten down once it's got fuel running through it.

    But in your build thread you mention you picked your new VL lift pump up from repco?
    Do you happen to remember any info about that? Price, part number etc?
    Could be a valuable backup plan.
