My dad used to occasionally borrow Maestro vans with work. Ive a soft spot for the old Maestro, it doesn't pretend to be something it's not.

 

+1. I reckon the Maestro is one of the best cars of ever.

 

Anyway: Autodata says that's a Bosch EPVE pump. Injectors are CAV. That's Lucas, right?

these got rather well with a little "adjustment"

"To top it off the land agency gave me the wrong directions out of their lane so I ended up lost in Seaton. When I went to use the sat-nav it crashed on me so I had to try using my phone and map book, it is amazing how much we rely on sat-navs now to find places, I struggle to map read now and used to love it!"

 

 

The joys of sat nav in rural areas! 

 

The post code can apply over a wide area.  My practice here in rural Devon before staritng off to somewhere in the wilds is to use Streetmap.com as a back up;  this shows road and property names and gives a good idea of where/how (assuming you have the post code)

 

From my village to the M5 the sat nav route ignores the main road and takes you down lanes I have been down once and won't do again, and when you meet the artic that is lost and the car driver who can't reverse even 10 yards      grrrrrrr

 

cars look like they will be worth the hassle of recovery    WIN

Autodata looks top notch, might pay for a month just to get all the info for the Saab.
