Does anyone have experience with this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-5-GT-TURBO-OIL-PUMP-REFURB-KIT-VEIN-ROTOR-/160579524663?fits=Car+Make%3ARenault&hash=item2563491837:g:THYAAOxypNtSenxi

Looking to see if it will provide enough flow/pressure.
I have read that some aftermarket pumps are actually campus types - hoping that this is not

yes i bought one of these for mikes c1j when he had it from cgb does a great job but i found the shaft so tight after fitting it needed manually turning with mole grips until loose also i was advised by machine shop to use a small smidge of vaseline to bed in when fitting , this worked a treat

hope this helps:coffee::agree:

The campus pumps are a gear type design. The GTT is vein and rotor as in the link :agree:

As Mick says pack it with Vaseline before fitting, or failing that engine assembly lube.

This will help it pick up the oil initially.
