The major cause of VP44 issues is problems elsewhere......

Two main causes of faults on VP44's

1) Lubrication issues of the mechanical side of the pump
2) Failure of EDC (multiple issues but usually fixed with the correct soldering equipment - which alas I do not have....  :'( - ultimately, I'm not prepared to pay the costs to have the EDC repaired on a 170K car as there's too many other potential failure points to consider)

Body is same style and same colour as my 3.2, Engine and other diesel related parts are the same as Mrs VXL's Estate, NCDC / CID / MP3 modulator, mats, rear blind, refurbished headlights, poly bushes, wheels with Toyo T1R's, Heat reflective windscreen etc etc etc will end up being migrated to the next 'daily driver omega' when it's purchased. At the end there won't be much left that doesn't get used  :y
