Just another question (to you or anyone else using the Astra / Opel / Vauxhall pump). There was a bit of return line on the pump when I got it and which I wanted to re-use. Funny part was that it had a crimp on it, close to the reservoir. That was a bit odd, also as it didn't seem to be for connecting hoses together.
So I cut the sleeve off and managed to pull something out which seems to be a reducer. I didn't measure, but by sight it looks to be about a 3mm hole through the center. Did your pump come with such a restrictor? I guess you didn't put any restriction in, right?
I can't really understand the use of it yet, it looks like it would be the biggest restriction in the whole system. And why would they run a 10mm return line when they want pressure drop anyway? Bit confused.
On a positive note, I managed to finish the pump bracket last weekend with kind help of my neighbour for the welding. Last layer of paint is on now, should be dry tomorrow. Also I put some new wires on the power connector for the pump and found myself a nearby ground point to use. Getting ever closer....
