I posted a problem on 80-90 a couple of months ago about the pump in my van dribbling diesel from the top.At the time simon correctly identified it as the blue seal needing replacing.I have phoned a couple of local diesel "experts" that claim you can't buy the seal on its own and surprisingly they would have to have the pump to replace the whole top and re-calibrate!!!!Does anyone know where i may be able to get this "blue" seal from(I have already swapped it for one from a scrap pump i had which improved it but still dribbling slightly, was a second hand seal though!!! ).Cheers in advance, or before i start playing around with 'o' rings!!!!

I had exactly this problem with mine.

I ended up sticking an appropriately sized 'o' ring under there. Its been dry ever since.....

i have them on the shelf, as bought from a Bosch agent.

Not cheap though, well, the seal ain't bad but I had to buy some shims with them, they are the expensive bit.

if you want them, you have to buy a shim if you need it or not!
