Buy an After market one, Genuine is TOO DARN EXPENSIVE, $578.00. This mob has one for $89.00 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FALCON-EA-EL-SED ... 29f19949c5

Thanks guys ill take your advice and get the Goss one from Bursons if there only a $100 bux. But ill try Peps first as well. Yeah the car was driving beautifuly last night on the way home from a day at the tennis until the engine died at Chullora on the hume highway. Not happy !
 Towing the car home was another $100 bux so that money i saved will get me the pump.

It always happens at the most inconvienient times hey..................
Aftermarket will be fine. Probably built in the same chinese factory as the genuine but in a different box.

You aint wrong. I ended up getting the Goss pump from my local Peps store.... 85 bux  Finally the beast is going again but $200 bux later. $120 to tow it and $85 for the pump which was unexpected  but i suppose it could have been a lot more if i had a Jap car or something so i shouldn't really winge.So cheers to all and should be seeing you on friday night.

is there any benefit of going to a bigger pump like a walbro 255 intake pump? or not worth it as im runnin at 40psi fuel pressure the reason i ask is that i think my original one has just about let go and needs replacing and i also have next weekend to install all of my mods and get my new chip tuned etc

Good choice on the Goss pump, if you look on the bottom you will see they are VDO pumps (same as genuine ford) at 1/4 the price...
