How can I find out if my zx td has bosch fuel pump fitted, rater then the lucas one.
It is a '94 M reg td volcane.
Does not say on the fuel pump itself. I think it is a bosch one, but unsure.
Thanks for any help.

If you look directly down on it, if the cold-start cable and the accelerator cable are both on the same side, then it's a Lucas pump. If the cold-start cable goes to the fast idle lever on the engine side of the pump, then it's a Bosch.

The Bosch ones have some feint markings on the front face of the pump. The Lucas has Roto Diesel cast into the top plate IIRC.

Bosch pump has the word "Bosch" and the Scintilla emblem cast into the horizontal rib just above the main cylindrical (main body part) of the pump to the left of the manual stop lever, the pump is about 9 inches tall, the boost pressure feed from the intercooler goes to the top of the pump.
Lucas pump is about 6 inches tall, boost pressure feed is to the side/bottom of the pump.
