Is it an idea to change the cam follower on the OE pump regularly?

It's certainly worth checking every 20,000 miles. Mine had done 45k and showed little sign of wear, but I changed it anyway as a precaution.

For the sake of a £25 part and 30 mins of work then yes i would. As Rich says check it every so often and see what the wear is like. It might be worth popping a new one in yours anyway if it's never been done.

But I would prefer the the follower to wear rather than the camshaft.

Apparently it neither KMD or Autotech, "its our own developed pump."

I have certainly never changed it in the last 20k and at a guess neither has the previous owner!  Perhaps a wise investment, is it a DIY job?

You will find the timing is altered slightly from stage 2 to stage 2+. Thats where the power is made so you dont need the full 130 bar. Less is more sometimes  :happy2:

No not necessary. Checking it regularly, yes. Maybe every 10k to 20k miles pop it off and look at it. If the coating is close to wearing through just go ahead and put in a new one.

Yes as long as you have the tools. I did a tutorial for it here:
