Thought you guys would like to know, the seal kit supplied by Milners contains a sub standard front pump seal, its just a plain old Oil seal that happens to fit this aplication, its Red in colour, its made from the wrong material and you will be lucky for it to last 2 years

I have aproached Milners about this but they not taking me seriously either that or they just not bothered

there last reply was;

okay, just don't buy anymore from us
Thanks
Sandra

fantastic customer service there..

first it was sub standard balljoints,then trackrod ends.. and now pump seals, which could be potentialy dangerous with a runaway diesel

won't be buying from milners anymore i recon

Thats Disgusting, and i use Milners quite a Lot, Although i have never had Seals, Gaskets or Rubberised items off them, only due to reaction from people on this Site.

On saying that I've just found a Mobile Fuel Pump guy on Flea-Bay. Item number: 280710035165

zexel seals, Any Good?

The problem with the Milners seal kit is no one at Milners seems to think theres a problem with it, the guy i spoke to today never said he will look into it either!

so i guess they will carry on supplying the kit as is until they get a load of grief from people who have the same trouble 2 years on and claim for it being unfit for the application it was sold for

tbh mark i think if someones good enough to refurb a pump they can spot dodgy seals a mile off (look at yourself) and no decent diesel place will use 'em for the same reason

probably just won't sell

I wouldn't spot it if i had to do a seal meself though i would not ever want to do it unless i was very skint and more worryingly what seals are sitting in their refurbed pumps they sell.

must admit i bought a refurb pump from dieselcraft in widnes,lasted 3 years then topped itself. not just one but ALL the seals! they all looked about 15 yr old when they were taken out.

I fitted a new seal in a pump in Hatfield earlier this year, the guy just brought it and the pump looked to been refurbed as it was painted up but just the pump body not the pipework, and that had the wrong seal fitted to it......

Unhelpful Sandra at milners said they have sold 100s of them in the last 5 months alone.
