Appreciate the reply Keith, even if I think a lot of that came from the US book of sales jargon. Nobody has questioned the APR pumps quality, I don't think there is any doubting that at all.
I have actually run the Autotech before as well and I had no issues at all but I appreciate that going down that route has its obvious pitfalls. That is why we are really looking forward to testing the LOBA pump ourselves, on our £320k 2005 Volkswagen Golf :signLOL: (Joking)

Many thanks for a very informative post, Keith :happy2:

Out of professional courtesy Im going to be extremely polite on the matter of the 3 Million GBP machine Keith
Name and model number of the machine please
...I was at one of the most accomplished Machine shops in the North West of England this afternoon supplying Rolls Royce Derby/F1 teams/MESM (an experimental clinical trials company) and running MAZAK 5 axis machines straight out of Japan and there's lots and lots of very raised eyebrows at that figure.
At (an assumed) £50 per pump that's 60,000 pumps even for a global company like APR that's a lot of pumps and a lot of testing I'm assuming you're batch testing and not testing every pump in which case what's the batch rate? In which case every pump doesn't get tested
60,000 pumps taking 45 minutes per pump is 45,000 hours and the average American doing 40 hours per week with 4 weeks leave that's 25 guys in a room assembling pumps all day......that's with no lunch...
in the interests of the aforementioned transparency can we have a little more info on the machine please, I'll happily eat humble pie and apologise publicly for being a doubting Thomas.
Or are they assembled off shore?
the product obviously works......very well....and APR should be applauded for turning out a good bit of kit, I'm hoping that the Sales and Marketing machine standard replies don't overshadow the product

This is brilliant...
well and trully caught out APR.
