Those casters would cost a fortune.

Will this one work with a thicker penetrating oil ?

My Td5 has developed intermittent boost on the turbo - sometimes it builds it really quickly and sometimes it’s just dead flat. As in foot to the floor and it just won’t build revs.
Sometimes I can down shift to build revs and get some boost - and sometimes it will just suddenly build boost as normal.
When it is on boost it seems as strong as ever.
Nanocom is giving no faults.
At first I thought the wastegate wasn’t sealing shut properly - but it actually seems to be moving really nicely.
Unlike the Td5 discovery there is no solenoid in the actuator line - it’s just plumbed straight in.
I did wonder if it could be the pipe work leaking or collapsing - but I can’t see how that would be inconsistent?
Anyone help me what could cause it ?

100% ⬆️
that’s what I meant it was worth checking the wiring.
Honestly I wouldn’t bother with injectors or the loom when you have a fault code for a part that causes the symptoms you have.

Wow 😮

I’ve had the same experience with wd40… it’s seems to wreck all the sprayers including the one that came with it, and a number of ones I’ve bought since.

I didn’t realise there was an improved version, thank you I’ll have a look for it.

I have those yellow yellow springs with 255/85/16 and have no rubbing - I do have a modified offset to keep them away from the radius arms - and just put them out flush with the arches.

Sounds fantastic !
Have you had a look on wikiloc ?
quite a bit on there for Europe

and that’s the point of any of these things to improve ride or reduce road noise isn’t it really. 😊👍🏻

What did the injector balance look like on it ?
Though that said I’d just start with the Crank Position Sensor - worth checking the wiring to it too. -
Even cheaper pair :

Here are the ones you can use front and rear. They aren’t expensive.

Here are the other type for the front:

Just the top - there is a second sort for the front that integrates the fasteners for the turret rings.

If you are changing the springs it’s wel worth putting some of the isolators in.

with modern phone cameras they are very good at making damage/defects in steel surfaces stand out like dogs balls.
It’s true that …. 🤔
Though as my eyes have got worse over the years I tend to work on the basis that the camera is just picking up things I can’t see … and it might make it look worse but there is something there 🤷

If that’s the best one I think I’d replace them.

Superb - thank you. I’ll head out with the tape measure shortly.
that looks very very neat.

Oo yes please Steve !

I keep looking at these .. he has a smaller screen one now, and I keep meaning to measure to see if it would fit in the bottom of the Td5 console

Great 😊 share some pics when you can

I could definitely see me driving one of them..
You’ve pretty much made one haven’t you ? 😊

I wonder what Mrs Jeff will think about the structure we’ve just described…😃 I know I wouldn’t get a lot of support for it 😂
Could this be the understatement of the year?

Wow !
100% agree that they aren’t fixing it - just reducing the impact.
The basic fact is that even after the bracket is fitted - it could fail and then it’s the customer’s expense.
Surprised there isn’t some regulatory oversight that would pick that up.
