took me going slowly an hour to take fuel pump off and put it back on. So if they change more than a hour they are having a giraffe

If you are confident in removing the fuel pump (3 bolts and some hose clamps) then swapping the cam follower is very very straightforward

Just had a quick look for the guide on the forum but couldn't see it

unless you have the older pumps which both fuel lines are metal all the way upto the pump you have a very difficult bolt to remove.

Wow, that is good! My tuner, Storm Developments, are doing that for me as well, but for £300.00 all in. Still a lot better than 750 for an APR pump plus fitting I guess.
