Bloody councils if only they kept their kerbs in good repair, this one had almost an inch of sharp concrete sticking out where a join had moved, and it was a curving road so parking parallel was difficult, as I stopped to pick up my son bang it hit (I'll need a wheel alignment to but it needed one anyway) .........not a good day for me, I complained to the council but they were not particularly interested.

Quoted about $250 for a new pump assembly... found some on old trusty EBAY for a lot less. Any one had experience with the pumps from ebay?
