Well, I've kind of stuffed up my parts order for my 998.

The point of pulling apart the engine turned out to be a new oil pump, and out of everything I ordered to fix the engine I managed to forget to order the oil pump! And as I drove out of Sydney past virtually all the mini parts shops I'm now in the ACT with everything but the oil pump I need.

Does anyone know where I can get a small bore pin drive oil pump in Canberra or nearby?

I understand that Classic Motoring are now back in ACT.
(The contact page lists a Weston PO Box).
If you want second hand, PM me and we could sort one out from Holt.

Thanks Matt, I'm pretty keen the engine warrants a new one given how much effort it is to get at, but thanks.


I'll give stu a call.

If you're still having trouble maybe try PM Wayne(XC900) he is a member of the ACT mini club and might know who can help you out.

Thanks everyone,

Stu is indeed alive and well and selling parts in the ACT. He even put a shirt on early on Australia Day morning so I could come over and pick up some parts and have a chat. Everything is now sorted, good as green and gold!

Thanks for everyone's help

Mick
