Then isn't the most practical way to buy a whole new APR pump, fit it, send off the oem one and hope it's good enough to get some money back.

If APR are so fussy it doesn't exactly encourage you.

whilst I agree APR may have somewhat a captive audience.
I would disagree with your comments Robin, surely 'fussy' up to a point is a good thing? (something you argue is good for VWR?)
Given the high precision involved and the time required to 'check' customers old pumps for suitability, Im surprised APR even bother allowing option 2 (core exchange) at all!

thanks JKM for the informative and very useful post  :happy2:

You're right, john_o. My thinking was more that parts they would reject might be replaced to their high standards rather than reject the whole pump - Hope that makes sense. However, I suggest this in ignorance of any engineering implications - Yes, it's often better to replace a whole part rather than muck about with bits of it.

Whether financially far more expensive or not, I would certainly favour the APR pump if I was doing mine, and this is because of their exacting standards.
