Thanks Everyone
The arm will be coming off a very very low mileage box - so I'm hoping it wont be messed with or too seized.
Fatboy: Someone pm'd me and is send me one, so I think I'm sorted now.
Just how hard is it to remove a steering arm from a 4 bolt steering box? I've been told its a nightmare of a job .....
Is it something I'd need a puller for? or is it one where its best to take it somewhere?
I want to swap a swan neck one for the straight discovery type.
Mine has been fantastic too - only down side is the pad rattles.
There are instructions for backing the pad with silicone to stop it - but I haven't round to taking it apart again and doing it. Might be worth doing it before you fit it?
I'd be happy with just the logo.
on a dark blue t-shirt - so it matches the forum identity we already have.
Simple and no nonsense - just like this forum.
The mechanism on mine bent a little and its a bit of a nightmare. I've done my best to straighten it by pulling the top of the dash off - but it still won't hold the vent open against the wind when driving - and despite the vent appearing to close fully I am now getting a stream of cold air from it that freezes my left knee... So be careful as they are very difficult to straighten out in situ.
I think I'll try disconnecting mine and see if it makes a difference. I drover a friends Td5 the other day and it picks up much quicker than mine. Only other difference is that he has removed the EGR - but I'd be surprised if that made such a noticeable difference...?
You've not said if its 8hp up or down?
A well designed snorkel could increase the airbox volume or, depending on intake position, act as a ram air.. both of which could increase bhp.
4.1 f&rwhp equating to 8hp at the flywheel means you are working on a 50% loss through transmissions and running gear.

However Rob90 from here has just got in touch and offered me one that should become spare in a couple of weeks.
Phew!
