New torque converter and oil pump between wednesday and Friday...finally !

Still haven't paid for the other work so i have some bargaining power seeing as there will now be repeat work with the oil pump ;)

As for the torque converter...1,700 euro from LR or 800 euro for a Sachs piece from Bristol Transmissions which includes courier to me and exchange return and £80 surcharge that i get back with the exchange :thumbright: That was an easy decision :thumbright:

it lives.... :thumbright:

Just got it back with new torque converter and oil pump plus a couple of other little bits like the odd hose and oil seal

Good news is the prop shafts got a clean bill of health and were re-greased. And the best news is its going to be a charge of 14 hours labour not 26 and ancillaries when doing the oil pump are free :thumbright:

What the labour rate John? DEaler rates here are some £120-150/hr and independants about half that - still makes 14hours a good chunk of cash!

How long is your house going to be without :whistle:

Labor rate is just over 80€ per hour. So not too bad.

Also received the IID tool today :)
Got it re-registered and working :)





Need at least one new injector... :( :roll:

One is at 1399 so definitely gone. Ian has suggested others could be compensating....

Running out of kidneys in the immediate family....might need to harvest a couple from friends....
