sharley17194 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Oddly it is stock as all the TDs have intercoolers, the odd thing is the bonnet seems sealed so i have no idea where it gets the air as the bonnet is smooth on top. I may have to put a vent in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly its stock, i am not sure why as im sure tis sealed, but it must get the air from somewhere. Its such a tiny turbo and a lazy engine so uprating the intercooler and turbo is a complete waste of time. I might stick a vent on top when i do a 'mods' section.

Once a hydraulic component shits itself it can contaminate everything in the circuit and this contamination can easily fuck up replacement parts; it's not a bad idea to replace hoses and flush/dismantle/clean the other components to minimise this risk. sharley17194 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first rack wasnt replaced due to failure, just a replacement was cheap and i had the old on in my hand. Ive flushed the system as best i can but i couldnt see aint shiet in the oil. If it fails again ill just bloody kill it. somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharley17194 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Made a custom exhaust for my magenta kit car. Came out better than i thought. Its basically a standard Mini LCB link pipe cut into pieces and welded back together. The extra kink is to avoid the towbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
