If you had suffer from a cracked roof pump tank cap (the clear plastic part), as Ford do not do a replacement, they would sell you the whole pump. So VW/Audi which has the same pump on some of the cabriolets, Golf and Audi 80. I got it from them. It is a little longer than the Ford one, but it fits and still has space once bolted up.

 

You can order it from an VW or Audi dealer, I went to Audi as it was nearest to me. Part number is repair kit VW 8G0-898-101 (Audi A8G0 898 101). Cost is £44.76 (£37.30 excluding VAT)

Comes with tank cap, torx screws, washers, and o-ring seal.

I was going to buy one myself last year from my local vw garage but couldnt bring myself to spend that for a plastic cover :sad: luckily last month i found a pump with its cover on ebay minus the rams for £15 delivered :banana_dance:

 

on another note the fluid that vw uses for their hood pumps is the same as the ford stuff and is a lot cheaper :smile:
