you should have email and a write up let me know if you have any problems
Can you zip it and mail it up? Otherwise I can shove it in Google docs and post a link.
Dopey, if you're going to give it a go let us know when and if you're willing I'll watch if I can get away! Might as well watch someone else learn. Maybe I'll learn something too.
Alternatively maybe one of the gurus nearby can tell us both and then we'll all have some early beers.

this really is a simple repair todo i bought an old scrap pump off the bay to practise with before doing it on our own car, no more fuel leaks and fuel rail pressure up bonus

What fuel rail?

fuel rail/injector pipes this reseal was carried out on our other car a nissan
It's likely not the same pump and there is no fuel rail on a P38. Curing a slight diesel leak from the top seal will not in any way increase the pressure in the injector pipes.

its an almost identcal bosch pump and i did a complete reseal on my own pump including the injector head therefore improving fuel pressure at the injectors.
wammers my write up wasnt for a range rover but another make car with an almost identical IP
From the photo in the listing they are the correct seals. VP37 pumps were fitted to Classic Range rovers never to the P38. The injection pump on a P38 is a VE-EDC, part number Bosch 0460406994.

Update... good news, found a guy through my work, who has done this job before, I will supply the seals and he will do it for me £100 all in, so I am a happy bunny, I would rather he did it right than me screw it up, and it will cost more if I screwed it up and had to fix it again... I will keep you posted, and thanks to everyone how helped out... I almost gave up this time.... (silly billy)
