When doing mine I got the seal from my local motor factors. They have assorted sizes in little boxes.

it must be a devon thing because i must have tried every factor and hydrlics specalist in my local area hopefully when i get the right o ring no more leaks

Living in devon you should be used to the same as me living in somerset

"sorry mate i can order one in for next week if you got a part number"

i have however found a guy in taunton that will mail order stuff out from toyota
taunton (somerset county cars) give them a shout and ask for the parts depo but make sure your sitting down befor you get a price they scarey at times

thanks for telling me about somerset county cars i will try them the next time but to put a end to the story i replaced the seals and guess WHAT!!!!!!!! it still leaks so going to hit the yellow pages tomorrow and look for some diesel specalist to fix it for some immense sum so wish me luck.

Were is it still leaknig from i had same problem with mine had to get o-ring from halfrauds but then after all that found out you can just slip seal over top with removing the elec plug bit doh what a wally, but atleast now its not leaking any more

[chowie]

just looked at the date you have probabley got it sorted lol

[MUD MUNCHER]

yes got it sorted by fitting another pump as the seal kit made no difference to the leak put another pump on cured the leak and the truck seems to go better and more mpg so iam happy all round.

For arguments sake. If this stop seal wasn't put on properly could it cause erratic idling?

[MUD MUNCHER]

its possible have you tryed putting redex through the system and then give it a good blast down a main road just in case you have a dirty or blocked injector i hope this is of some help.
