Yes they do, but the mechanics (read downside) is that I bought the pump in the USA and I live in Australia. I can remove the pump and ship it back to Flat6 who will send it to PNA who will dignose the problem ....etc, etc. Potentially it can take 2-3 months for an outcome which means that I could be without a car for that period - all for $400?? I think not....

I guess this is the biggest potential hazard from buying outside of the community you live in, but with Australian prices being in the region of 3-4 times the cost of what I can buy the parts for from the UK or USA its probably worth the the risk.
