yeah its fine on the lucus pumps in the escorts mate, they are very hardy ones !!!

if it was a HDI one they you would be fucked, just flush it out and then change the filer and rebleed ( you pump should have the hand prime on it im sure )

easy to do aint it pmsl

the car is old enough to not need any major things doing other than bleeding the system

it's when it's newer that the bills soon start to outweight the cost of the veicle
