IO540,
It's not as simple as that. The supplier will have a record of selling you an automotive part.
The only way to do as you say is to not record the fact that the pump is u/s and make no paperwork entries. Usually stands out a bit that the shiny new part must have been recently fitted...........check logbooks - no record, check credit card - automotive part ordered from US. Best paying in greenbacks when flouting the law.

Camlobe,
You simply make my position crystal clear - it is the CAA and not EASA that is causing much of the problems and uncertainty.
If the CAA is going to
make the situation financially untenable for the customer then it is breaching the law and operating outside it's authority.
EASA should slap down these people ASAP and let everyone get on with what EASA intended and not how the CAA are trying to muck it up.
The problem with the title "engineer" is that people who simply pick up a screwdriver call themselves engineers these days in the UK.
---------
This whole thing reminds me of the UK family who paid thousands to replace their plumbing because the plumber told them their imperial pipework was not compatible with metric and only metric sizes are available these days.
You have to laugh and people who are stupid enough to believe such stories.
How many stupid owners are there who will either unnecessarly pay through the nose or unnecessarly give up?
