zx 1.9D estate with lucas diesel pump [N/A]
Hi there, Is there anybody that can tell me if its possible to change the lucas fuel pump for a bosch one. Is it a simple swap, ie can you use same cable,cam belt pipes etc. and would anyone know which model would have a suitable bosch pump. I am just doing some research into using used veg oil and/or if its possible to use other types of oil eg hydraulic as i have access to various types of used oil. if anyone has any info i would be very gratefull. Thank you Regards Tony.

You'll need to Bosch injectors too. Lucas ones have a different opening pressure.
Apart from that, it's straightforward. The Bosch pump mounts on the "alternative" flange stud positions on the cradle. When you remove the old Lucas you'll see three apparantly unused tapped holes in the cradle. Move the three flange studs to these holes for the Bosch Pump.
Be careful you don't end up with the semi-electronic VP20-AS3. They look like the mechanical VP20 externally but need an ECU to control timing. Retrofitting the ECU is a game.
That's it basically.

Small point: beware if sourcing a 405 pump as posted above, the very last (N and P plate 405's D and TD) do have a keypad. Its behind the handbrake under a flap, not infront of it 306 style. Still, with a pump off its easy to 'attend' to such things anywaytony1961 wrote:thnks peter thanks jim, i will aquire a pump and bits, asap
