Matt,

You may have already gone down these routes. Check your local Chrysler and Land Rover dealers. See what they have listed in their parts bins, the VM was used on the earlier diesel 2.5 Range Rovers and on the Jeep and Voyager.

They may have suggestions. On my diesel the turbo is an IHI fitment and they have a service UK location up in Newcastle and may also have pump recon kits.

Not sure if this will help, good luck!

Geoff

Thanks for that Geoff, i tried jeep and rover, they both told me it was a non servicable part and both tried to sell me a new pump, but then service deps seem to be run by young oinks with no skills what so ever. Its a bit of rubber with a layer of fabric, how can that be a non servicable part

Hi Matt have you thought about fitting a separate electric pump like this ?

No use whatsoever to current problems,wen I wer a lad in the motor trade in the fifties,everything was serviceable,indeed it would have been deemed outrageous to replace an automotive unit for the lack of a bush,brush,diaphragm,valve,pin,shaft,shim,bearing,or indeed any little part needed to make good the faulty unit,had we been unable to supply,from stock,the required part,we would have been seen as inadequate and not up to current standards.How times have changed :(
