There\'s a thread about removing the air-pump, and I think it has some information there.

It\'s bolted to the top of the lower inlet manifold (LIM), you\'ll see it when you take off the UIM.

I can make you up a blanking plate if you want?

Are you going to remove the airpump as well?  If so I can make the other two block-offs if you need.

I\'ve taken off the air pump and would appreciate some blanking plates ? If you have the time  

Cheers, James

No probs, I\'m not sure I\'ll have time to do them before weekend but I can knock a set out

If you got paypal I could send you some cash for em dont want to freeload now!

No worries, I\'ll get them made first and let you know how long they took.  My hourly rate is £19999

Is that +VAT?

wot pullies have you put on and have you had any problems with the water pump pulley sliping?

[imebgo]

I installed the greddy kit, I have\'nt noticed any problems with the water pump slipping, I guess you just tighten it up enough (?)

You can remove them and remove the solonoid.

You will need to check the FSM and plug the connector with a resistor
