Hi John, Long after your original post, I have changed my brushes today and have a working pump; thanks very much for your assistance in simplifying the task. After some surfing, I discovered some remote control car replacement brushes which were the right size. (5mmx5mmx10mm) decribed as "Trinity P94 Modified motor brushes" (Ebay Item No 170293077631) only

I remember my MK 1 Gal had a restricted mounting depth for the front speakers, does anyone know what the mounting depth is on the MK 2? I have a pair of component units which are about 58mm deep, it would be good to hear them again!

I have a 99 Alhambra 110 Tdi which has become very difficult (but not impossible) to start. When the ignition is turned on, the glow plug light does not come on, after 5-30 mins it eventually does and the car starts normally. To date it has never cut out once running. If the engine is warm, the glow plug light will usually come on much sooner allowing the engine to start. The engine will always turn over but will not start unless the light has been on. Having read numerous postings I have tried: - Checking the battery terminals Unplugging the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Relay 109 working and showing an output Glow Plug Relay working once it receives a signal from ECU I assume Glow Plugs are ok as the engine starts imediately once the light is on The fuel injection solenoid can be heard clicking even when the engine won't start Immobiliser light on drivers door behaving as normal Brake lights and cruise control are working so I assume brake light switch to be ok Diagnostics have identified: - Air Mass Meter Sporadic (Code 00553) (There is no loss of power/performance) Engine Speed Sensor Sporadic (Code 17978) I assume neither of these would prevent the engine from starting. The only other clue is that when the engine starts, it sometimes runs unevenly for a few miles, as though the ECU was recalculating values and settings?? Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated, I have been to two garages, paying twice now for diagnostics and they were unable to identify the fault.
