PROVENT BULK PURCHASE

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Ladies & Gentleman, I have access to Mann+Hummel product direct. Along with this comes access to the ProVent 200 of which I have uploaded the brochures in the files section.

Although mainly designed for those in WA, anyone interested in a group buy, please contact me.
I would like to do an initial purchase of 15-20 units with an estimated price at this stage of $165.00 each hopefully including the check valve for the return drain. I'm still haggling on the price.
No hoses, clamps or other ancillary products are included and each person will need to source their own items.
I am looking into what is generally required to complete an install and will post this up to help those to source items.
Anyone in WA regional area or interstate, I can dispatch to you but freight will be at your expense.
Money will have to be paid before sending it out. I will contact you when ready.
Serious buyers only please, no tyre kicking or changing your mind on this one.
Please respond by posting here and I will PM you individually.
I will advise when I am ready to start taking orders.

Regards

Andrew

[LandyAndy]

ONYA Andrew.
I will put my hand up for one to put in the Defender.
PEOPLES,these things are very good,I have one in the D2.Since installing there is no more oil polluting the intercooler,can only be good for turbo/engine lifespan.I have no hesitation fitting a second unit to our Defender!!!
Thanks
Andrew

[Vern]

keep us posted:)

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

keep us posted:)

Yep, will do. Hopefully be ready to go this time next week! :)

[steveG]

I'll be in for one depending on final price and whether it includes the check valve.
Online at Western Filters the Provent 200 is $178 and check valve $20.

Cool. Have added you to the list!
I'm looking at the 400 for the trucks that come thru my dealership and offsetting the costs for the 200 against these.

And me please too...

[adonuff]

Thank you I'm intrested tooLet me know when you finalise the price

[LandyAndy]

Good to see some interest in this,guys please dont mess Andrew around with the money when it comes time to order.It can really leave a sour taste in ones mouth when one goes out of there way to help others only to get messed around awaiting payments.
Andrew,the best way to sort the postage is in a Express Post bag.
Has worked very well for me in the past.
Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Express bags are cheap and the don't weigh much. Waiting on box dimensions so I can work out which size I need.
Getting the items in bulk to me is free. The only freight will be postage to those in regional areas or who can't get to me to pickup.

Cheers

Andrew

[SiddersC]

I'm keen for one for the disco, just depends on the final price.
Put me down for one though.

Are you getting a price on the filter elements as well?
I am chasing a couple of elements and am happy to tack it to your order if that works for you?

Not at the moment no, however I think they are around the $90 mark retail, so I would say about $70 each off the top of my head. Dont mind ordering if you need them.

Will put them on the list and get back to you.

Thanks Andrew,
Ill take 2 elements.
PM me final cost, postage to 4895 and your bank or paypal and Ill drop the $ in...

Hi Andrew,
I had a quick look at the file you linked.

Why have you gone for the Provent 200? It seems a bit overkill for a 200/300Tdi or a TD5.

The Provent 150 would seem a better size for our motors, a 100 would just do my stock 300Tdi.

Thanks

The 200 will do up to 200kW engines. As there are various outputs, in particular the TD5 if its chipped which will reach 200kW, keeping it to one size makes it easier to keep the price down and also the fact they dont keep the 100 or 150!
Also, with a larger capacity unit, it will also produce better results for quite a bit longer before needing any kind of servicing. A larger chamber will keep the can velocity quite a bit lower resulting in better condensation of the oil mist and less physical load on the filter element.

Many of us already have the Provent 200.
They are VERY GOOD.
Im participating in this buy as Im so happy with the one in my D2,Ive just purchased a TD5 Defender.
Andrew

[slug_burner]

Please put me down for one provent plus two elements thanks.

Happy to pay before you order if that will put you more at ease, I see no reason why you should risk your own money.

Any chance on a kiwi getting in on this deal?

I just poured about 200ml of oil out of my turbo.:(

[geckos]

that is correct

[lokka]

Im keen on 2 of the pro vents and after a quick search on ebay finding this link the price seems ok .

put me down for 2 of them tho i rekon with the bulk purchase they could do a better price :D

Don't see why not. Your postage is going to be different though so will have to look at it separately.

Dougal and lokka added to list. :)

[Vern]

ebay one doesn't come with the check valve though, unless you pay extra

[dswatts]

What is involved with fitting one of these, where do you plumb the oil return pipe, where is the canister mounted?
Could be quite interested in one of these.
Thanks
Dylan

[lokka]

Yep i read that hence why i said the price seems ok as the $20 extra for the check valve and the price of the vent would be 30 bucks extra than the price quoted in here :D

[dmdigital]

Hi Andrew, put me down for one + postage to 0881.

If Dale (Stuuu) wants one we can combine the order. I'll check with him later today and get back to you.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Just a point of note, there's nothing stopping these from being fitted to the V8 also. My RRC gets crud in the plenum so I'm looking at one for that also!
This isn't by any means limited to diesels.
Dswatts, dmdigital and Stuuu added to list.

Cheers

Andrew

[dmdigital]

Andrew, don't add Stuuu unless he posts up a confirmation. Just been discussing and he is undecided still.

As for payments, I will give your cost with postage and my account number. Just deposit using your forum name so I can verify who it's from.

It's not too late yet for more to come on board, however with almost 30 now interested, I hope they have stock!!

Added new ppl to list.

Thankyou all for your interest. Glad to see people are keen!!

I just had a look in the engine bay :eek: ... and a look around the forum ... :eek: ...

... and it seems D2 owners have been mounting the Provent 200 against the passengers side fire wall ... I have the aux' battery there :( ... there _might_ be room under the tray, but it's inaccessible unless the battery tray's removed (major exercise - Disco has rear A/C !), and it's pretty close to the exhaust ... mounted here leaves no access to service the Provent (sigh) ...

A quick measure up shows a 2L coke bottle cut about 35mm below the label and then inverted is the "approx'" size (110dia x 220height) ... this will poke down between the PS reservior, strut tower, and intake hose from the airbox to the turbo ... god only knows where the plumbing will have to/can be run to ... and the drain ... and a bracket to install/mount it ... :( ... can't move the aux' battery to the SLS compressor tray ... it has SLS fitted. Can't move the battery to the rear storage bins as it's a 7 seater ... no bins.

Any words of wisdom or advice from the collective about my chances of installing the Provent 200 in this position ... 'cause that's the ONLY spot left in the engine bay I can see as being close to useable ...

HELP! :(

Kev..

[dmdigital]

Maybe if you removed the Jack and used that area :unsure:

[LandyAndy]

Kev
Pretty sure Ive seen pics of a D2 with the provent next to the power steer where the Ace reservior was.It would have only been on AULRO if that helps.Second battery was the reason for putting it there.
Reservior may have been shifted slightly to do so.
Andrew

[Fluids]

Thanks Derek ... I'll take that option as an extreme fall back position!

Andy, I'll have another search then. Thanks! ... and thanks for the tip ... move the PS reservior to make a little more room.

Any others with a voice on this ... wanna hear as many options as possible please!

Kev..

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Have seen a pic of one installed where the unit was mounted onto a heatshield made for the second battery.

These units are made from glass reinforced nylon. It's the same plastic your radiator is made from so heat is not an issue for it unless it comes in contact directly with a hot exhaust.
They also don't HAVE to be mounted straight. They will happily take an angle up to 45deg.

Cheers

Andrew

[Fluids]

Thanks Andy ... thanks Andrew !

Andy, I found the D2a install you mentioned (must be going blind!) ... it was Baz/Redback. Same position I'm considering. It's a squeeze, but looks do-able with some pre planning.

Andrew, that's a position I didn't consider. Will take another under the hood tomorrow night. Thanks for the heads up on the material.I know the stuff as Noryl ... we have pumps that use similar material for casings.

... thanks guys, I feel alot more confident now that I can get it to fit.

Kev..

[Hamish71]

The "difficult" thing is, you MUST mount it so that oil will drain (downhill) to whereever you are draining to. If you decide to join into the turbo drain pipe, be very careful about where you apply heat, so as not to damage the rubber in the hose.

Mines here:http://www.aulro.com/afvb/members-rides/106557-hamishs-d2a-overhaul-3.html

I couldnt get it any higher, and the return line is just "down hill".
I have it on my list of things to do to make a custom turbo drain pipe so I can tee in the provent much lower. I've heard it can take about 5000km or so before oil actually starts to drain, so Ive got some time to do it.

[Zute]

Hamish, the pic's dont seem to be there any more.:(

I'm really chuffed about this thread. I have now spoored up the Provent dealer in my country, and will see what he tries to charge me for a unit.

Otherwise, I have their PDF files, and I'll build my own. For pity's sake, it's just an oil vapour condenser and separator. How hard can it be? ;)

[Zute]

I have thought about just making an oil catch can, like used in racing sedans. But this looked the Bee's Knees.
Im thinking that I won't plumb the oil return in, at least not straight away. But rig up a small bottle to catch it, so I can monitor how much oil is being lost to the breather.

[BMKal]

Hi Andrew.

Could you please put me down for one also if there's still time. Postage to Kalgoorlie.

Thanks ................ BM

[slug_burner]

my return line is not plumbed in and I have collected about a cupful (approx 250 ml) every 10k on a 2003 td5 disco with 170k on the clock.

[Dougal]

So when is the price finalised?

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

So when is the price finalised?

Had a wrangle with Main office in Melbourne. They were trying to get the pricing through Hella Australia who coincidently just picked them up Monday this week as a distributor. Mann and Hella are now part of the same main company but separate entities. Anyhoo, the idiot in Melbourne hasn't got back to me after repeated calls so I'm going direct to Mann and bypassing my Daimler account. All I need to do is get a direct account re initialized and it should all be go.
I do apologize for the delay but have had head knob ends from Mercedes Melbourne over here this week telling us how to run the dealership despite not being able to supply the stock to do so..... *****.....

OK, so by my count, so far we have a qty of 32 ProVents and 4 filter elements!!
Does anyone want me to try for qty deal on air, fuel and the two oil filters to suit??

I already have a good stock of oil/oil, air & fuel filters (50k/120k) ... but you can never have too much ... I buy when I find good prices on these items.

See what you can do Andrew !

... also, is it worth getting a spare Provent element (ie-much saving price wise on this deal) ... I know I won't need it for a while ... but I will need one eventually.

... you can never have too much ;)

For the provent element, haven't been able to find any suggested service intervals but I guess it depends on how much of a breather you have.
As far as I can tell, it's a wrapped coal filter so technically there's nothing stopping you from using a solvent to clean it.

If you use mineral oil, I would expect it to clag quicker than synthetic which by rights actually shouldn't as it doesn't varnish like mineral. I use syn so not going to bother with a spare element yet.
I can get for around the $70ish mark I think. I would assume with the amount of Provents, a good price will be forthcoming.
Roverrescue and slugburner both want them so I will put you down for a price.

Cheers

just to confirm you do have me down for one povent and one filter element.

??????????

geck

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

OK, manually went back thru the list just to check I hadn't missed anyone.
So far there are 36 ProVents and 11 filters :o
The Aussie Post Parcel Centre is over our back fence at work.... luckily!!
Will see if I can cut a bulk deal and get a flat rate postage for volume.
Cheers

Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

just to confirm you do have me down for one povent and one filter element.

??????????

geck

Yep I do.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

I have final pricing for all items!

PROVENT - $168.50 (includes check valve)

FILTER ELEMENT - $72.00

Postage will be no more than $12 per parcel.
For those ordering vents and elements, they most likely will have to be packaged separately as the postage is based on 500g-1kg parcel, Provent aparently weighs approximate 500grams.
PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR ORDER BY THIS FRIDAY 27th AUGUST.
I need to cut off by this date to place the order Monday 30th.
I will start sending PM's tonight to those who have registered. You will need to send back your name and postal address and a preference for a credit card. This is by far the easiest method as my accounts is at another building and I don't have easy access to bank transfers.
I will probably round off the volume to 40 vents and 15 elements which I will keep here but this will depend on final confirmed orders.
Thankyou all for the interest and I hope this will all bring a smile to your faces next time your crossing off "clean intercooler" from your service list!!!

Regards to all

Andrew
You will receive an invoice from my dealership for what you ordered.

[geckos]

Andrew

BIG SMILE on my face, well done and thank you.

[Zute]

Could we do a direct deposit into your Bank account ?

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Could we do a direct deposit into your Bank account ?

You can if you like but I need to transfer it to the business account anyway.
What I can do is give you the company bank details and your invoice ref number but you WILL need to state this number when doing the transfer AND send a copy thru. I don't mind doing this but it is a pain for me to follow up later if I have a number of them to do.
With a card, we just punch in the numbers and it's done.
Cheers

Andrew

[LandyAndy]

Andrew
See if you can sort company BSB/AC banking details.
I too do NOT deal in credit!!!!

[lokka]

Great work andrew verry happy with price and debit card works fine with me just send the details and il do my bit cheers .:D

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

OK, starting to send emails now.
Please reply to me with your postal addy and if you want bank details, I will forward them, otherwise include your card details.
I need this to be able to generate the purchase order and therefore the reason to have a cutoff by close of business Friday 27th August.

Please remember also, that with C/C details, I need card number and expiry date.

Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for your effort.
I have just replied to your PM with address but like others I should have requested a spare filter as well, if thats not to much trouble.
I note that your Disco is the same model as mine (Td5 D2a 2003)- has there been a "project" on fitting the Provent to this model?
Once again thanks for your time and effort.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Everyone has replied with delivery!!
Only had one pull out leaving a total of 36 Provents and 13 filters excluding mine!

Thankyou very much everyone for replying so quickly, very much appreciated!!
For those that supplied card details, I have charged you all $5000 each, will report on the weather from the Carribean sometime next week!!!!!


Ahhhhhhhh, not really!!!!!!

I still have some checks and pricing for those wanting their orders sent together and will advise on this shortly.

For those doing direct deposit, I will email you the account details and also update the invoice number list.
I am guessing I will actually place the order tomorrow unless there are any other takers.

Regards

I have closed of this now. Order is being placed today and should be here this time next week approximately.

Mods, it may be an idea to make this a sticky please so I can advise those who have purchased.

Thankyou all
Who have participated.

Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Have been getting a few messages from those wanting to know payment details for direct deposits.
I wont be messaging details for the account until I actually have generated the invoices. Reason being, my accountant will give me grief for not being able to allocate deposits to invoices and it complicates my reconcilliation process if it comes in too early. This is why CC is better for us. I am trying to have cash removed as an option at the moment due to the hassle it is to handle.

As soon as invoices are raised, I will let everyone concerned know. Dont spend it in the meantime!!

Cheers

Hey Andrew
Invoice us,we pay,then they can be happy we are not about to rip them off for the cost of a new prime mover as they have our coin in pocket to pay for our bits.
Im more than happy to pay in advance,its the way this sort of group buy SHOULD work.
We are dealing with a reputable COMPANY,not a member that is going to scam us(IT DOES HAPPEN !!!!)
Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

I will look at doing a force supply tomorrow.
Will look at doing the direct deposits first.
Yes Andy, yours will be the first :)

Cheers


Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Just a quick update, spoke to Mann today wondering what was happening. They have an issue with their system issuing a COD invoice. Aparently since changing to the German linked system, COD is harder to do as its account oriented.
Due to the fact i have had to bypass my Daimler account, COD is the only way without a long drawn out account application process.
Hopefully next week it will be go.
I test invoiced LandyAndys order today and got it to go thru without stock available so will continue with all the direct debits tomorrow.
I will email those paying this way tonight with the bank details and my work email to send the transfer receipt to.
Please dont transfer till Monday and please make sure you put the invoice number in the reference. I need time tomorrow to do the invoices.
Will post up the invoice numbers shortly.

Cheers

Andrew

[lokka]

Great work andrew your a champion :cool:

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Bugger..... seems I forgot to put in the invoice values..... I will message everyone tomorrow individually with their final costs.

In the meantime, here is a summary and invoice reference!

Gaz, unfortunately not at this stage. I am waiting on two payment details to be confirmed so if either of these fall thru, one is yours.
Being a bulk purchase, i wont get the same price for individual lots but i may look at this again in 6 months or so. I am looking at bulk filters also shortly for oil, centrifuge and fuel, possibly air also. As Xmas will soon be apon us, i may leave it till late January unless i get harassed enough and can generate a decent qty.

According to my spreadsheet, just you and Toad but i need to go back thru all my messages to check. I am staying back at work thursday night to bag and tag everything an post on friday. Those with direct deposits will be done first as invoices are done already, then i need to check i have enough EFTPOS rolls for the rest!
PM me tomorrow with how you want to do it.

Geckos, as above, cards will be done tomorrow (thursday) and Friday. All the vents are here in one shipment, Mann kindly shipped at their expense due to the "marvellously large" order in their words, aparently the biggest single order they have ever had!

Just to reiterate, every vent comes with a check valve and then spare elements if you ordered them.

Cheers

Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Hi Andrew, missed all the action!!!! BUT if you have one over plus filter i will take it....thanks Gaz.

Gaz, GOOD NEWS!!!!!!
it seems Isuzubob got his name on my spreadsheet twice and i have an extra provent and check valve but not the filter.
It yours for the taking, just let me know ASAP.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

OK, all but the COD pickups, RobboTD5, Dougals and Disco owners have been invoiced and are ready for dispatch.

Robbo and Disco, just need to advise on payment.

Willie and quaddrive are COD pickups from my office

Dswatts is picking up Saturday morning.

Dougal, i need to deal with yours separately as its an international dispatch. I will do this tomorrow as AusPost wont estimate your postage.

Man, what a mission...... :)

The response from everyone was far in excess of what i expected but there will be lots of happy intercoolers running around now!!!

Cheers to all who participated and look out for the next one on filters!

Oh, forgot to mention,
THE CHECK VALVES ARE INSIDE THE PROVENTS!!!!
Dont forget to open them and take them out.
Thought this would be the best way to pack them as bags do break and small items fall out!!!

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

OK, everything has been dispatched via Parcel Post yesterday. You should see them sometime next week.
Willie was the first to receive his as he picked it up from me Friday and dswatts picked up his this morning.

No real hurry for me,both mine have been serviced recently.

[slug_burner]

Yes, thanks for getting it all together.

[dswatts]

Provent fitted, bit of a squeeze.(2nd battery) Had to shift power steering tank back about 20mm, weld up a bracket. Hoses sleeved and clamped. Only have a small can to catch the oil at the moment, will plumb in later.

Andrew, you did us all a great service!
Many thanks:)

[Kandy]

Thanks for that post dswatts.
Thinking of the same position,no extra battery as yet but moving the psteering res.?? was hoping that wouldnt be needed--mmmmmm?? might have to be in that spare space (for a 2nd batt)--mmmmm?

[BMKal]

Yes - thanks for organizing Andrew. Look forward to getting the chance to fit mine when I'm home on the weekend.

Just realized that I've been driving past your work a couple of times lately and could have dropped in and possibly collected it. But there's no money left in my bank account 'cause someone in a Black Disco apparently got hold of my card details and had himself a shopping spree, so I'm told. :p

Oh well - off up to Nullagine next week, so I'll get to it when I get back.

Cheers ............ BM

Mate ... Thanks for the photo's ...

How, did you moove the PS steering tank back 20mm (towards the air intake on the inner guard ?)

Second, is it possible to post a photo looking across the bonnet (from passengers side) instead of overhead ? How high up do you have the top of the PV sitting ?

... as it stands now, there aint_much_room ....

Will try and get another photo tommorrow. Drilled out the spot welds on the bracket for the PS tank and rebolted it closer to the inner guard. Just below the Bracket for the power steering tank bracket there were 2 unused bolt holes so I used these to fix the bracket that I welded up to hold the provent, it is then braced to the ABS module. very tight fit but its not touching or rubbing on anything.

That just leaves me with one sole vent allocated to Gaz.

Out of interest how long do the filters last on average?

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Thanks Andrew got mine yesterday.
Out of interest how long do the filters last on average?

No real info on how long. Every engine will breath differently with differing rates of oil vapour.
I guess when the inlet side of the filter starts to pool oil in it and even then i would assume you may be able to solvent clean it.
I wouldnt say you wouldnt need to replace inside 80-100,000kms.
Maybe send a message to Isuzurover as he was doing R&D for Mann on these a few years ago. He had a limited number that were free providing you returned tech info to him. He may be able to give you some idea.
As i think he did have quite a few who just took the freebee and provided no feedback, it may be a good idea for all who have just bought one to ask Ben for his sheet and send regular updates. I plan to as Ben has helped out many AULRO members and deserves the respect he has shown to others.

Gotta go, motox and bmx freestyle about to start down here at the Perth Royal Show!!

Just a few photos of the bracket I made to mount mine. Much like Andys, but it attachs to the fuel cut switch braket on the fire wall as well as the bottom of the inner fender.

I put your invoice in the mail separately. When you send it o/s its generally better not to tell customs it has a value and is a gift.

Hey Andrew, Provent turned up today. Thankyou very much for everything. Now to install it!!! Might start a new thread, "Show us your provent install".

Installed mine tonight. Mashed up a bracket that is temporary but for a hash job actually turned out OK.

Went for a run to warm it up a bit, came back and took the cap off to see exactly how much mist it develops.... :o :o

A lot into the unit, absolutely nothing from the return! :) :) :)

Next job will be pulling intercooler out which should have been yesterdays job if it wasnt for the starter motor crapping the start solenoid.

Looking good mate. Are you going to plumb the oil drain into somewhere? Turbo oil return line? Centrifuge return pipe? I've got all the other connections covered but I am unsure on this one. Either way a hole would need to be drilled into the line and soldered in place. I'm thinking of just fitting a long clear plastic tube to it with a bung in the end and draining periodicly.
Regards
Robbo.

Just a quick question regarding the one way valve,
Does it need to be mounted vertically or can it be put in line at an angle or horizontal?
May have already been answered but I couldn't find it.

I currently have a approx 450mm of clear tube as you describe, need to check it as the oil can back up into the provent.

[SiddersC]

Thanks for that!

[Zute]

I was thinking of fitting a small drink bottle to the drain of mine. But after a week of driving to work and no sign of any oil yet, I might just put a longer drian hose and loop it. Or just fit a small pill bottle to the end.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

I have mine with a piece of 13mm poly plugged until i can get another turbo oil drain line. Rather than butcher the existing and make a mistake, i'm going to get a new one and play with it a bit. I think its going to take time to really start collecting anything.
I'm still in two minds as to whether to just drill ot straight into the sump on its own line when i do the next oil change. Need to check the oil pump bolt anyway so kill 2 birds so to speak.

Cheers

Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

OK, a few details on fittings used. I was lucky enough to have a couple of lengths of 3/4 and 1" ID Purosil hose lying around at work :)
The only other addition was a 19mm retic poly connector. This is used for sticking inside the 19mm hose to provide a clamping point when fitting the 25mm hose over it.

For the mount, i started with a length of 20x5mm reinforced steel bar, however with a lack of appropriate gastorch and bending gear, i gave up and used a piece of scrap ally checkerplate from the trailer build.
This bent up pretty easy with nothing more than a hammer and rubber mallet. A few quick bends roughly in the right areas and being ally, was easy to get into the right shape.
The bracket mounts using the alarm horn and rollover switch screw points and needed no new hardware for it, however be carefull with the rollover switch as i did crack one of the screw mounts :(

Position the Provent onto the bracket, mark holes, drill, position vent spigots and bolt into position.

With the hose, cut each one to about half the length of each run. With the poly connector, cut the barb off each end, push into the 19mm hose where the 25mm will join it, then stick a hose clamp over it and lightly tighten.
Connect to the rocker cover and the PCV regulator on the turbo intake and its done!

Get the engine to normal run temp, take the cover off the Provent and see just how much mist actually comes thru.

Ah, I dont believe you did any of this. You see, no pictures, didnt happen.:rulez:

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Installed mine tonight. Mashed up a bracket that is temporary but for a hash job actually turned out OK.

Went for a run to warm it up a bit, came back and took the cap off to see exactly how much mist it develops.... :o :o

A lot into the unit, absolutely nothing from the return! :) :) :)

Next job will be pulling intercooler out which should have been yesterdays job if it wasnt for the starter motor crapping the start solenoid.

Cheers

Andrew

Anything surface mail that hits Darwin after midday Thursday waits another week to be put on the barge. Then it arrives here usually Mon/Tues and then in our mail boxes on the Wed arvo.

Derek got his yesterday :mad: and mine was carded in the box after I checked it lunchtime yesterday.

Thanks again for all your efforts. Now I have to make the effort to fit it.

Well, two weeks(330ish kms) and no oil in the small return tube. Starting to get an oily film on the inside of the provent. Maybe I need to do longer drives than Ive been doing, but its nice to know that the engine is in better shape than I thought. 246 000 + kms./9 years.

Ive covered about 600 since fitting it. Can just see the inside of the filter darkening.
The oil i have coming thru the "weeping weld" on my EGR replacement intake tube :( is getting less however. Might be broken, but its actually handy!

You know the weld will break at the most inconvenient time.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Yeah i know :/ its on my list of things. Thinking about having one milled up as one piece from billet. The one i have isnt really matched that well to the intake face as well. A mate of mines a boilermaker so i might give him the EGR one to match from and turn one up at his work.
Now the oil is thru the weld, it probably wont take very well to being redone.

Cheers

Andrew

[Zute]

Or you could just get him to mill out the inside of the EGR, and fill the holes. For the untampered look.;)

Well at long last Aust Post has found and delivered my ProVent. Between slipping a note in my mailbox and returning to the post office it had gone missing. It was personally delivered to my wife today while she was at work (not too far from the post office).

One advantage is that I have seen all the clever ways in which people have mounted/fitted theirs so I dont have to think all that hard about fitting mine.

Thanks,

Toad.

Good to hear! Can scrub the last query off my list!

Ok, i have 2 Provents left here. One is from a a non pickup, the other was an extra with an interest shown but no folding stuff so they are up for grabs.
These are unit and check valve only with no spare element. Price is $180.50 delivered.

The first two to PM me with details can have them.

Cheers

Andrew

[LandyAndy]

PM sent in vain hope. :p

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Glad you didn't pop a "vain" over it!!

nice1guv is the proud owner of the lucky last Provent.

Jackerz, I will be doing a bulk filter purchase in the new year. If yourself or anyone else still wants a Provent, I will take orders then.

Cheers an Merry Christmas to all.

Andrew

Yep, picked up the last bulk order Provent this morning from LOVEMYRANGIE. :D

Thankyou very much for that mate!

People who go out of their way to organise these bulk purchases, so that we all may gain, are true champions - this is just one of the things that make AULRO such a great place. :BigThumb:

LOVEMYRANGIE even took the time to show me the install in his noice D2, cheers. :thumbsup:

[winaje]

Any chance of putting together another bulk purchase in the next few months?

[disco_ute]

I am also interested in 2 units

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Done and dusted I'm afraid. Mann Hummel have changed their market setup and I can't get access to the industrial line which was direct. Automotive is now distributed thru Hella Australia but pricing isn't that flexible.
My account with them is via Mercedes Benz Australia so a few extra fingers are stuck in the pie.
You could try www.filterdiscounters.com.au and see what they can do or contact Hella for your local distributor.
