Are you going to do a new gasket or machine it to fit better?

And I thought the stealers in SA were bad, eish! Ok, I was also told that removing the cat/centre silencer would void the warranty, but a RAI!??? In SA, and Africa in general, it is very rare to see a Defender or Land Cruiser NOT equipped with a RAI, and not a single stealer would even dare to suggest this voids the warranty. For example, I had mine installed by a 4x4 workshop and stealers didn't care, no comment about it. I just cannot believe your stealers are being such poepholes!  |

I took my heat shield off just to look around. I don't think my manifold is warped as nothing is black but I do have to ask why is my turbo and manifold so rusty with so few miles on my truck (500). My truck sat for a long time before I bought it but is this normal?

Did the loose bolts contribute to the whistle?

right i have just sent some bits to be made for this problem
im having the gasket remade in 2mm copper then im going to aneal it ill let you all know when i have fitted and tested is but if it works i could be able to sort something out im pretty sure i gave him enuff material for 8 so watch this space it shouldnt take to much to improve on landrovers useless gasket regards steve 2015 2.2 tdci hardtop xs 3.2 conversion DONE 238bhp and 707nm torque and thats just the start ;-P hybrid turbo in build -done ready to fit ashcroft atb in transfer box 6 speed auto in build |

as i went to remove anut from the manifold today i broke the stud
on closer inspection the stud has been sheared for sumtime my little bit of force snapped it though ? so there is obviously enough movement to break a m8 stud 
hopefully il get this sorted soon grr steve 2015 2.2 tdci hardtop xs 3.2 conversion DONE 238bhp and 707nm torque and thats just the start ;-P hybrid turbo in build -done ready to fit ashcroft atb in transfer box 6 speed auto in build |

right lly after a few hectic weeks and no truck
 as the turbo has been off
iv fitted the 2mm copper anealed gasket iv had made all cnc machined
i fitted all 3 new studs as one had snapped anyway whilst the turbo was off i run a block over it and got it as flat as we could withour removing to much material i then smeared the 2 faces with a thin layer of firegum exuast sealent and fitted it all back up using brass nuts apposed to the original spec then run the truck for about 30mins without a down pipe so i could tighten it all up also whilst doing this i refitted my de-cat down pipe i also smeared some firegum on that joint as well as there is no gasket so far so good iv probly driven about 30miles so far with no problems so fingures crossed it should now be ok time will tell but it normally goes pretty quickly if its going to i will recheck the nuts in the mornign to see if i can get any more on them regards steve 2015 2.2 tdci hardtop xs 3.2 conversion DONE 238bhp and 707nm torque and thats just the start ;-P hybrid turbo in build -done ready to fit ashcroft atb in transfer box 6 speed auto in build |
