    Paddocks

    Thanks, Hendrik

    Paddocks was a good tip. For the benefit of others, I have listed my order and prices:

    TD5 silicone hose kit - 59.50 pounds

    Bottom end set TD5 - 37.50 pounds

    EGR blanking kit - 22.50 pounds

    Total - 119.50 pounds (including postage)!

    That equates to Au$217.07! The website was easy to negotiate.

    Would have cost me more on EBay just for the silicone hoses, with postage on top!

    does the MY03 have default position settings for the EGR & butterfly when cold ie full open, part open etc and can the lines to these be disconnected?
    Reason I ask is the turbo in my recently aquired D2a seems to have a slight amount of compressor whistle audible with the passenger window down but this dissapears after it gets it's first few throttle ups.
    As I am away on holidays, wouldn't mind trying it towing on the trip home and seeing what happens. Actually feels a bit pokier when it's first started.

    Cheers

    as far as I remember the EGR works the same hot or cold and the valving is a case of its either open or closed.

    the whistle might just be the turbo not coming up as much at idle while the engines running on its cold settings.

    So is disconnecting it as simple as unplugging the vac lines to them or do you just unplug the solenoids on the side??

    both methods work.

    I prefer replacing it with a blanking kit.

    It's just a temporary thing till I get back from holidays.
    Just unplugged the vac lines.
    Got a bit bored thismorning so started nosing around the donk.
    Found that the plastic tube on the wastegate solenoid was broken and someone loosly glued it on without the spigot.....
    The turbo intake hose had split where the breather slips in, temporary fix is now alfoil and a wide band hoseclamp till I get back.
    Will get a kit from Tombie when I am back later this week.
    Oh, and one other thing, took off engine cover, started engine and cam plug was that loose it rattled out only to be held in by the conduit running across it!
    Re bent tags to hold it and added a little Curil gasket cement to it.
    So it looks like I gained a little more shed time while the devils spawn are still on holidays!!

    Cheers
