Any use to you? At about 25 minutes you can see the seal that may be leaking - not sure how similar this pump is to yours. If you're looking at a new/replacement pump anyway you could try stripping it down, once it's out you can measure the o-ring and order a replacement, or buy a rebuild kit for the pump. I've just done the same job but on a Bosch, not sure if it's possible on a Lucas.

Tepper Cheers mate I have now watched a couple of vids of pump strip down and rebuild. There is a big o ring right in the area where the leak is, so I suspect that's whats wrong. Thing is after watching the vids I feel even less inclined to do a rebuild lol! Rebuild kit is around £35 second hand pump £50, and there is every chance that I'd mess up the rebuild so think I'm going to just get a pump. Cheers steve.

Secondhand pump is probably an easier and safer option to keep the car on the road, but you may as well tear down the original one right? Don't buy a rebuild kit until you've stripped it down and you reckon you can get it back together! On the Bosch you can ease the pump head out just enough to change the o-ring without having to strip/rebuild the pump, I wonder if it's possible to do the same thing on a Lucas?

From the vids I watched ( its a lucas/cav dpc by the way) you have to remove the pump and then remove several parts before you can remove the part with the o ring.
I have to admit there is a part of me that wants to rebuild it but I'm also mindful of the fact it could all go wrong and that would probably mean the car being off the road till the new year. If I just buy the used pump it could be sorted by next week. Notice I said could there lol!
Cheers steve

Well i finally got round to fitting the new pump today, and now the car wont start, just spinning and not sounding like it has any intention of starting!
I followed the instructions in the haynes manual including marking where the original pump was and fitting the new pump in exactly the same place.
Once everything was back together I primed the pump using the rubber bubble thing and pressure built up no problem and it seems to be holding that pressure, so I'm a bit stumped now. Any ideas folks?
Cheers steve.

No I've not, is that a case of slackening the unions at the injectors till fuel comes out?
Cheeers steve

Cheers I'll give that a bash in the morn. Is the lack of me bleeding them likely to cause it not to start?

Also make sure you've got 12v to the stop solenoid. I've forgotten a few times!

I would double check the timing, 8mm pin in the flywheel, m8 bolt in the pump and cam iirc.

then get it cranking and give it a bit of flammable stuff to get it spinning faster, not too much but enough to keep it turning off the starter and this will get the air out if its that.
