  1. Just took the actuator off my 300tdi and the waste gate its self is seized solid now I know this isnt the best thing in the world to run full boost all the time but is it safe to run for a period of time? (untill i can source another turbo) Also are the 200/300 turbo's interchangeable? sammy
  2. Will try all these tomorrow an see if any of them work
  3. ill try the earth on the gauge tomorrow,dont all the gauges use a common earth?? when you switch the ignition off the gauge goes all the way back down to where it should (below cold)
  4. Im having a few issues with my temp gauge, when you turn the truck on the gauge always seems to read in the middle instantly then when it seems to be at norm it reads hot (just past the red). I've tried 2 new coolant temp sensors and this doesnt do anything to the problem. Anyone had this type of problem before? sammy
  5. thanks for all the opinions and info, I think I might just be swayed to getting a full width jobbie tho (when funds allow )
  6. in what way with the turbo? is it just the same housing with a re worked compressor wheel?? I am a complete boob on the diesel tuning thing (only ever built NA monster engines lol)
  7. think ill get saving up for a std size jobbie then! what other things can I do to get a bit more?
  8. After a bit of advice and/or knowledge on what rims an what offset to run....basicly im sick of my BFG muds (on disco steels) catching on my radius arms also same with my 33's on wellers catch with kuhmo ventura's on them catch like mad! What wheels an offset's are best so they dont catch? any help! sammy
  9. I suppose there is no effect of ram air whilst off roading, so no gain there then. I primarily wanted just a bit more umpphh on A roads on my way to work..so do I get a full size jobbie? On slight worry is covering the rad completely
  10. Thats what I was thinking near enough £100 for 7BHP an would the full size jobbie covering the rad make that much of a difference??
  11. can you pm me how much you paid for all of them bits please matey? its either the cooler and all fittings or a winch lol
  12. big question is it worth the £355 for the smaller of the 2 intercoolers??
  13. Been having a look at these as I'd like a little more poke out of the old girl as I've been doing a bit of towing lately and could do with a bit more 'umphh' so to speak.. Now how many people have used the Alisport ones? and which have they used? (full width or std size) and did they feel any benifit? Is it worth the wedge?? before I go and spend a fair chunk of money.. any info or input into this is appreciated Sam
  14. i go around oswestry way, was just thinking as some of them i do get some points where I get to the end of my articulation travel
  15. As the title really, I went out on Saturday laning and I ran out of travel on my shockers, now i never really need the clearance as I never go extreme places. So my question is, what have others done?? Just fitted longer shocks, if I do this will i need dislocation cones? will everything else be ok with this if i do it this way?? Sammy
  16. 3 weeks ago when i bought them, there was no neg feed back
  17. aye man thats me, takes the proverbial TBH doesnt live far away either, might have to make a wee visit there
  18. Thanks for that Mr Western man I'll try that when I'm "working" tomorrow lol
  19. im not sure but the blower its self is very noisy
  20. Are these interchangeable between the TD/200/300 tdi's? as mine is useless on the new truck an there is td im sure i know of in a local scrappers an ill grab it tomorrow
  21. even though mine is a van with no interior plstics etc??
