Carlos, you are an absolute Gent. I can see that it is not "King" Carlos for nothing. If you do get round to posting sketches, I will be happy to produce AutoCAD drawings if you require. Just let me know. I will crack on and knock up the alarm brackets for the trim panels that go with my own...

Varta - Swedish if I am not mistaken and was standard fitment on Scania trucks when i was working on them many years back. Should have good cold weather performance then.

Sounds like a fair price to me Carlos. Another option might be to sell drawings for a tenner or so. Another advantage of your design is that they can't even get the lower trim panels out, something that my own solution does not yet cater for, as I have yet to make up alarm brackets. MHM is...

Those look the business Carlos - and a good visual deterrant too. How are they fixed at the bottom? I ask because of the thread that I pointed you to earlier. They made a right mess of the chaps bumper and had almost got his lights. If you have managed a bolt fixing to steelwork at the bottom...

Stainless is certainly tough stuff Carlos, and resists failure by repeated bending better also. I'd love to see your photo's.

Not sure how big your bars are Carlos, but if they are like the ones you see that are on the corner of the car, I have some bad news. Go over to the D2boysclub forum and look for a thread titled "Woke up this morning". The pictures show one pretty wrecked bumper, although luckily they didn't...

I have done that also Lynall. But even quite deep engraving (such as by a Dremell or similar) can be obscured. Remember that engraving can only be on parts of the light that will not fail an MOT for being treated in such a manner. As such an item can still be ripped out in 12 seconds and sold...

Are they here MHM?

I assume that you had a spare turbo c/w actuator there Ben. Or do you know of where to get just the replacement actuator?

Just don't apply too much. As soon as it starts to look wet, come away. If you muck it up you can always paint the whole car matt black and live a life of deepest joy and contentment as a result.

Sadly, a set of decent tin snips will undo the job. I have dropped some bracket design pdf's both on this site and D2boysclub that offer a bit more resistance. Two go at the top and one goes at the side, behind the grille. If they do get your lights out with these fitted, the lights will be...

Oooo! Tong. Salubrious!

Mines a manual and rarely goes above 3000rpm - that's 80mph in top gear. Odd, as I regard myself as a brisk driver who does not wish to hold up other traffic and will overtake where safe opportunity exists rather than sit behind another who wishes to travel a bit slower than me. Must be all...

Then you scroll down to the bottom of Paddocks page to the Bilsteins and Konis to find that there is no distinction at all. Very odd as these are supposed to be the premium brands.

I was also very surprised at the gains from this mod. I was thinking that the car would just "sound" more powerful and that would be it. Yours should already be cat-less, but an egr delete will also work well.

I think that elbows and tees usually come in schedule 40 as standard, so are pretty beefy. The problem comes with stainless being more brittle than mild, especially where there is cyclic stressing. That's why high pressure steam vessels are still usually made in mild steel. I would be really...

Ta very much for the advice there Thomo.

Thanks for that final nugget Biglad. I was about to order injector seals, but as there was not a trace of black stuff on my old pump, I shall leave that job till the summer.

Not your imagination at all Clint. Mine died a couple of months back. After replacement, the engine did seem more lively. Probably because the pump deteriorates over a period of time before it gives up the ghost completely.

I think Bennehboy made up something similar a while back, but it broke. Not sure if he had a single piece exhaust flange though, or 5 separate ones. Think I need to print that picture off and look at it more closely in the toilet, where the light is better......................... Honest.
