Pump direction of rotation

I'm probably the first person ever to ask, but does it matter which way an injection pump rotates? The Rover 25 and 45 appear to have the same pump as the Ford Focus, and yet the Ford is fitted on the front and spins clockwise, and the Rover it is mounted on the back of the engine and spins anti-clo...

Re: Injection pump pulley

Cheers Dan,

Injection pump pulley

I have a problem with a Rover 45 injection pump. I have bought another pump but it has come without the pulley. The pulley is fitted on a taper, and so can be fitted in any position.

Re: actuator

You should've bought a 200/25, the clock is on the dash and very easy to get out :D

The new Renault Clio and Modus require the bumper to be removed to change a headlamp bulb!

Hi Nicko,

Welcome to the site, it's good to hear you're enjoying the car :D

Parts are still available through (ex) MG Rover dealers, motor factors, ebay or local breakers.

Re: Sensor operating ranges

I am planning to put it in a Sherpa camper van, it will use a different immobiliser and also operate some extra bits such as as Split charge system, an Econometer and whatever else I fancy.

Sensor operating ranges

I have been designing an ECU for my L-series so I had to measure the coolant temperature sensor reading at different temperatures. I thought I would post them up here in case anyone has a problem it would help them check the sensor. If anyone does the same with any other sensors, post them up here :...
