I have 2 spare HP pumps one internally tired and one purportedly with a cracked casing but good internals..How easy is it to transplant the internals from one pump to another??
If easy enuf this could be a low cost solution to the GT's poorly pump..
Also whilst on the issue of pumps (again!!) ..I have finally managed to tune the GT and got a nice slow slow and steady idle (700rpm)..
However at this speed the pump's noise is quite a distinct cyclic knock..
question....i have heard tell that a flat accumulator can have a nasty impact on a pump and can crack the case. I'm thinking the noise I'm getting is just the sort of racquet that might well cause a crack eventually..
anyhow just a thought

There was a bloke selling the complete pump seal set on ebay.de last week for €10 inc. postage in Germany. I can ask him if he'll list it again if anyone's interested and post further afield.

As tempting as that item is, from my limited interpretation skills, that seal kit looks like it is intended for the 6+2 pump, which is only found on the Xantia and XM.There was a bloke selling the complete pump seal set on ebay.de last week for €10 inc. postage in Germany. I can ask him if he'll list it again if anyone's interested and post further afield.
Otherwise an excellent use of the scissor jack to remove the pulley, and split the casing off the pump
