Great guide... Finally got around to checking my cam follower after 3 or 4 yrs at stage 2+ and it really was very easy, except snapping the fitting of the grey electrical fitting (now zip tied up until I buy a replacement), and the condition was quite surprisingly good, absolutely no wear on the outside and just small amount of wear internally.

Tried posting pics but it only seems to show the link and not the picture

Last time I replaced it, I didnt changed the fuel pump seal.

You can get a kit from awesome that invludes the follower, seal and bolts but thats around 50 quid. Follower from dealer is 35, I dont need new.bolts but do need a new seal. Anyone got a part number?

Awesome guide, pushing the hpfp back onto the engine was a little tight due to the spring. Hopefully no leaks . Think I got it in time 65k miles full service history totally standard. (For now ;-)

When changin mine I had a problems with a) banjo bolt veing awkard although once I taped the m8 into a spanner it was easier.

B) reassebmbling the two fuel lines and getting the pump back in. Cant remember specifically what but I think it was getting thr second fuel line (not banjo bolt) back into the pump once pump was in engine.

How do you guys reassemble? Banjo bolt in, second fuel line in, pump in? Or maybe pump in then both fuel lines? Or maybe even one fuel line and pump in then second.fuel line?
