No probs mate :)

Difference is massive. There is not enough flexi exposed to flex and give a good fit with no kinks!

65mm braided section between unions! ( approx ) yes that was awkward. Cut a piece of paper down until it fit. now here’s the real world difference between the aftermarket one and the original.

Genuine one pic from the net Replacement aftermarket And yes I will measure now.

Just been out and checked mine after finding a “spare “ new return in my shed. Turns out I did not fit the new pipe after all ( it’s been a while since I fitted the new turbo ). No kink at all on the original after scrutinising closely. The aftermarket one I have in my hand though is noticeably...

Not 200 tdi but the 300tdi prefinished bearings i bought from turners fitted perfectly though i did manage to muller one on installing. that was pure user error.

Ok sorry just nipped out and checked again its not as kinked as i remembered certainly not as kinked as yours.

Yep looks pretty much the same experience i had. I am a little worried the torsion of the twisting and the heat from the oil could cause it to collapse further over time. Im guessing a genuine pipe may be the best ( expensive ) option. Other than that i would have to compare the original with...

just kinked slightly. I was paranoid at first but ok so far. Definitely shorter though :confused:

When fitting a new turbo to mine I replaced the oil return pipe with an aftermarket one I had a similar problem. Lined old and new up and the replacement was definitely shorter think this was causing ( the slight ) kinking issue in my case for sure.

anyone know if these will fit? I think the part number supercedes the earlier td5 ones. Advertised as same as earlier discovery shafts...

edit: now gone

Clarke Pro 90 mig for sale. Bought new and used to repair foot wells on my defender. Doubt I will need to use it again anytime soon and taking up valuable space in the shed. * NOW GONE *Collection only please ( Manchester ) I would imagine the cost would be rather to much due to weight anyway.

Have always found paddocks very good though find a lot of stuff can only be found easily by searching with part number. And in no particular order Ribble valley 4x4 JGS Sp4x4 Turner engineering - always willing to help and fast delivery.

Haha! Yes I have often definitely not needed something , usually small cheap parts/fixings , before throwing them out only to find myself very much in need of them only a couple of week later :oops: Sadly part of a never ending battle to keep shelves tidy and organised in my shed.

No problem al203 :) thankyou for looking.

That’s ok :) I’m in no great rush.

^ ooh! that would be great if possible. Thank you.

^ the hole for the feed also corresponds with the restriction in the head gasket interestingly. Though in need of an extra bearing due to my own carelessness I am declaring today a success! :D I’m happy I got this far to be honest.

Phew! I thought I may have to resort to drilling it larger. Thank you :cool:
