RE: CENTRAL LOCKING PUMP & CLOSING ASSIST PUMP INSTALL

Hi Dave,

Did you get the pumps from eBay in the end?? I've only replaced the central locking pump. Here are some pointers:

-Take a digital photo of the current installation before you start
-Use a small open ended wrench to prise the pneumatic connections from the old pump
-As you remove each connection from the old pump, connect the same fitting to the correct location on the new pump. It saves confusion later!
-There are 2 electrical connections. The smaller of the two lifts straight out. The larger one has a complex sliding mechanism which isn't at all intuitive. You need to slide the base of that connector horizontally to release.

Otherwise a piece of cake! Good luck.
Ronan
