Just wanting abit of info on the Lucus to bosch pump conversion .
Firstly does the pump have to be from a car of the same year or will any 'phase' do?
Also what is worth while doing at the same time while I'm there ?
And has anyone got any info on how to get around the immoboliser ?
Cheers in advance Jack

If ur car has the keypad immobiliser then you need to take the 12v ignition feed of the black plug (think its the red wire) and bolt it to the top of the bosch solenoid

As far as what else to change, as said already really, you might as well do the water pump, belt and the pulleys while your there 
The wiring and immob - basically all you need is a switched live from the ignition connected to the stop solenoid of the pump, any will do really but the easiest is to use a multi meter and find the one on the plug for the pump wiring.
There is even a pump change guide on youtube by darren thats also on here somewhere.
How do I connect it to the stop solenoid though? Cheers

Connect it to what though ? I'm sat looking at the pump and can't think what you mean ? Am I cutting wires and joining them or taking the plug off the top of the solenoid and connecting it there ?

There should be a nut holdin a ring connector to the top of the stop solenoid, it is on the right hand side of the pump (the injecor rail side) you need to cut the wire that has and ignition feed on the black plug (i think its red but double check with a test light or multimeter) and put a ring connector on that and bolt it to the top of the stop solenoid
