Opinions on what to do? Send it back or use it?
I'm aware of some of the pros and cons of both.

Thanks.
Ken.

I'm not sure exactly. There's a receipt from when it was replaced but no mileage recorded.

**Edit** It was recorded alright.. I just missed it. There's 20k mls (4yrs) on that failed pump. Not sure what brand it is till I remove it.
