I had mine done about 2 months ago. Including R&R it was $825 to have the seals done.

That was done at Australian Diesel Company down at Kingston.

Hope that helps

thanks mtx btu do u knwo what the cost would of been just to have the seals replaced? as i dont want to to be wasting to much money on the diesel while i am saving for a 3.8 v6 conversion(still at school a bit poor)

Mate, that was just for the seals. The R & R is remove and re-fit.

I imagine the cost would about halve if you already have the pump out of the car.

No a full recon on the pump (depending on who you ask)
can be anywhere from $2k = $4.5k

so that price is just the seals.

Give them a call anyway and ask. They are fairly helpfull and it didn't take them long either.

Basically any Diesel place would be able to help you

I had the seal on the top go, a couple of years ago, try replacing that first as it can be done on the vehicle in about 15 minutes!
I can email instructions out of the manual if you like!

thanks anyway

call deisel australia in allgas st slacks creek, it was around the $500 mark for them to reseal the pump, i had to pull it out and put it back in, which only takes about 2 hours each way

other than that, maybe a wrecker which has warrenty on parts, if you are only after a tempory fix

I just got off the phone to my brother, he reckons there is an o-ring on the back of the pump (engine side) that goes.
He said it is a piece off piss to change & and the o-ring can be sourced froma bearing joint.

Mines leaking from there at the moment and I'm in the process of pulling it out. I've got to pull off the crank pulley tomorrow & I'll let you know.

The top seal is pretty common, but he said it will definately be the rear o-ring.
