Once you learn where the important features are it’s quite easy and she loves you for it [emoji23]Quote:

Put the front wheels on ramps, removed the trans armour and it’s up there. Personally I didn’t find it to trying. Definitely not as convenient as the D2 location, but I did love the fact that you don’t need to fill the filter with fuel and there’s no weird priming sequence. It was just a change filter, put in the new one, start car. Quite like thatQuote:

It is the perfect size for the holding tool to rest against the belt tensioner arm as you undo the fan.
I’ve been noticing a bit of extra soot from the TdV6 when accelerating at highway speeds. Popped the engine cover off and sure enough there’s oily residue all over the throttle body originating at the RHS manifold to throttle join. Took it all apart and found the rubber seal damaged; probably from last time I had it apart. No seals on hand in Darwin so I tried rotating it 90deg, cleaning everything including MAP and MAF then refitting. Smoke tested the intake and it’s somehow sealed up, and I was pleasantly surprised that there weren’t any other leaks. I’m still on the original turbo hoses at 205k. Would have expected a split somewhere by now especially with the tune.
Side note I was stoked with how clean it all was in there. First time I’ve opened it up since I did an EGR delete and tune 15k ago. No more gunk.

Now searching for some new seals and I’m reminded how much we get stung for parts here in Aus.
Part 1316152 is $5 a pop from the major UK suppliers but $20-$30 each from any Australian based supplier I can see online.
So who’s your trusty and affordable Australian based parts supplier. Do they exist?
I've been using trs in Sydney a bit lately due to over seas wait time. I won't hurry back to UK with the service I get from them
So jealous....Quote:
