Thanks got last one hopefully. await confirmationtry putting in A6120940051.
Be quick, the £5 one states only one left, after this its about £7.50.
Lots on e bay.
Just went on eurocarparts for rear stabiliser/droplink reduced to £3 ish, thought must be mistake , put in discount code winter35 and reduced even more, may be rubbish brand but at that giveaway price its throwaway, so bought 4 for under a tenner .no harm in having a few spare !
Local remapper has offered to do economy remap and egr delete for £180,Just had a good read through your blog, and it’s well worth blanking of the swirl flaps and getting a remap to remove the EGR. One of the first things I did and the Engines run perfect ever since.
I noticed both mine were missing aswell. So went on the Euros site and got the same deal. I had previously brought 2 starline drop links at £24 each, so when I saw they were £2.40 and with the added winter discount I thought it would be rude not to by a load more in case they drop out again.
I found when fitting them I had to lock nut them as they kept coming loose, and if you’ve changed the ‘D’ bushes aswell the Euro ones are extremely tight and doesn’t allow the roll bar to move hence snapping the drop links.....
Will have to check nuts on rear droplinks next time I get under the car, still have 3 spares so should be alright for a while!
Local remapper has offered to do economy remap and egr delete for £180,
was thinking about just disconnecting swirlflap connection and leaving them somehow locked open??? for time being so that ecu still operates motor and doesn't throw up fault,read that others have done this, presume that with egr deleted,inlet manifold will be maintenance free once cleaned additives/intake sprays/oven cleaner, without taking it off
Because the £180 was for the remap, they said they will do the egr delete included in the price, so why would I not do the egr delete ??????. Why spend $180 on egr delete when there is a fix for pennies available?

Having done the remap/egr delete I thought it might be preferable to somehow leave the swirflaps in an optimum position until I get round to sorting out the spare inlet manifold.
where does the fix for pennies come into it ???
That's one of the reasons I am going for the remap , find the delay when trying to pull out fast annoying,and read a remap can cure this, also hoping for more economy ,mpg not great at moment, hoping its a possible injector issue which will soon find out as changing them one by one , if no improvement will start cleaning and checking parts of spare and swop , got nothing better to do at moment.I did get mine remapped to avoid the off-the-mark lag.
Yes I did, its a good idea and will be interesting to see how much oil is gathered and if you notice any differences that it might cause in the running of your car, once I have the manifold sorted , then I can get the remap done(hopefully the ycan delete the swirl flap motor as well as egr, after that will be switching to the left hand side to put in the new turbo seal/repair turbo inlet pipe, sort out my airfilter box being loose, so once everything is off may do your catch can mod, (do you think the the oil from the oil separator might help lubricate turbo and increase life??might sound stupid but Ive no experience with turbos at all, )as a thought, did you see my post about the catch can and the reduction in emissions at MOT.
