easy and very cheap fix

Ford sell a new nut joint that just pushes on the end of that pipe. then just screw the new nut back into the pump.

It should cost you no more than Ł10

Na mate, exsactly the same as a transit RWD!

the nut is clipped to the pipe and the clip fails.

Ford sell a new nut with a stronger interal clip. It litrally pushes on the old pipe and bolts back it to the pump.

10mins, jobs a gooden
