Default help needed ASAP please

hi there, my boss is stuck in newcastle, he just bought an A1 rallysport escos running 500+bhp,
on his way home to scotland the fuel pump packed in, is anyone here close to them
if so, do you have a pump for sale, new or old, just so they can get home.

this is extremely urgent, and any help would be much appreciated.

get me straight away on msn at

motovationltd@hotmail.co.uk

or on the shop phone 01542 833345

thanks in advance.

his cover only goes upto Ł500 of recovery charges, and they wont do a part payment recovery,
ie, they cover him for the Ł500 and he pays Ł200,
which i think is a bit off personally

Has he tried fuse, loose earth wire , hitting it with a block of wood?

Can't he have Ł500 of recovery to get nearer to home?

Durham RSOC is probably a good place to start. Scott Emmerson is the Chairman and lives in the Durham area. I have no idea if he has anything to help, but with a 400bhp Escort Cossie its probably a safe bet he might be able to help somehow. Good luck.

thanks guys, i think he has managed to get the car back down to A1 rallysport on a trailer somehow.
details have been a bit sketchy as both his mobiles are now dead.
hopefully he'll get it fixed and home today, thanks again for your help folks
