Hi all
I'm going to get a new fuel pump td5 and I've seen that paddocks do an OEM for £200 plus the vat, has anyone had or heard of any good reviews on this pump or any other pump from anyone around the same price???
Many thanks
Jay

I got one with a 12 month warranty for 60-odd quid, it is noisy and the sender was set wrong - showing 1/4 full on the gauge, but no diesel in the tank! But I couldn't stretch to a siemens VDO one.

Let's hope you don't have a problem with your new pump, with a suppliers t&c's like this. "PLEASE NOTE IF THIS ITEM FAILS WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD IT MUST BE RETURNED TO US FOR INSPECTION (ALLOW 4-6 WEEKS) PRIOR TO REFUND/EXCHANGE".

But then I'm use to a direct replacement with any item that's faulty.

that's cos they are only suppliers and the product's warranty is from the manufacturer, that sh*tty policy is from Siemens/VDO who would hardly believe theyrs product failed due to manufacturer's fault and they send it to a laboratory for investigation(i had a friend who worked for them)... if you'll watch you'll see that island dont have this statement for other products
