sorry Goron, I decided as I was going to just buy a replacement pump I'd strip down the pump head, it was a piece of cake. ordered some new seal from Hydramaster this morning,
but as I was driving betreen jobs I saw a pressure washer sales & service centre so I called in and he had some seals so I bought them,
replaced mine and the pump still did'nt build up any pressure

this afternoon Hydramaster rang me and left a message on my ansamachine that a new pump would cost £240 +vat so I will ring them tomorrow and order a new pump.
this machine is a neglegted machine that has been in a warehouse for yonks, it has suffered some severe frost damage, so far its had a new supply pump, new fuel pump and tomorrow it will have a new water pump. when I've finished it will be like new

And then it will be for sale to the highest bidder!!
