Or, if you can't be arsed to read it. Remove the connector from the new pump and replace it with the one from your old one.

this pump came from a 97, my car is a uk95.

It is Ian isn't it?

My replacement was from a 97, original will have been the same as yours.

I'm at a loss as to what's going wrong.

Swapping the fitting from old to new should allow the pipe to connect.

You got any pics?

Just noticed yours is a UK, if the PS tanks are the same, then it shouldn't make a difference.

for some reason, the conection is completly different.
it looks the same as in that quide, but dont fit the newer pump.
its def a 97 pump too. may be the old pump has a different conection then may be

well after today, no one seems to do an adapter for what i need.
the thread was a m18, the other a m12
an egineering place is going to adapt it for me, as theres polenty of meat on the bolt. so it will fit the power sreering pump, only charging £15

all i need to do, is conect my fuel hoses for the fpr
and the engine can go back in.

then jgm can do his magic
