    Buying decent parts

    That's why I asked. Don't mind spending what is required. What I do care about is being able to stop and not using the car in front as some form of crumple zone...

    The Big Debate - Britpart or S**tpart?

    It really is amazing that they stay in business. Clearly selling cheap tat works for them but at some point it's got to catch up surely. Saw a post somewhere else recently that looked like a trak rod end had pulled apart at speed. Dangerous if that's what happened.

    Thanks. I would rather spend a little more on something that's not going to give me agro later on. Will get one that ends in G. Ian.

    Buying decent parts

    There are loads of threads about the stuff in blue boxes! I think I need a new vacuum pump for my 300tdi and don't want to waste cash I something that might not stop me when I need it. I thought sometime ago that I read something that said a part number that ends in G is a genuine part...

    Defender indicators all flashing at once (not hazard lights)

    Ahh, I did remove the electrics for a trailer as part of the general tidy up today. Its strange, indicate left and only left indicators flash. Indicate right and left and right flash. Removing wiring inside the instrument dash has fixed it sort off but obviously turn indicator doesn't now...

    WTF is that Dave?

    I am shocked to see how bad Dave is and equally amazed how generous LZ is with help and advice. Hope you get a good outcome legally and I am sure that Dave will get fixed up properly.

    Whistling turbo?

    James. A big "provisional" thank you. Just went and had a bit of a poke around the turbo and it looks like the hose on the turbo outlet hose is loose - hope that's the fix, sure it is. Will fix it in the morning and for now my fingers and toes are crossed. Cheers. Ian

    Whistling turbo?

    Hi James Thanks for the reply. Will have a look at the hoses in the daylight. Anything specific to look for on the turbo itself. Can't really afford to bugger the turbo up. Thanks Ian.

    Whistling turbo?

    Went for a quick spin, washed the billing mud off and headed home. Turbo started to whistle a bit ad I thought hmmm that sounds sporty :confused: One mile later and its really whistling when on boost. Have had the exhaust and inlet manifolds off recently. Is there anything obvious I should...
