to power pump you can simply power it up independantly using a battery onto is connectors or a workshop tool such as solus etc using the prime function-some cars prime on accessory via the ignition-some only when turning over
Thanks Tony. Aren't the pumps mechanical on this as it's on the timing belt. Does it have to be a vac or can I use a priming bulb. I'm guessing it will take quite a while to prime it through just wandered if the primer bulb is strong enough. I don't suppose you know where the return line would be on the rail?

Thanks
