My birthday present to myself, and they turned up on the right day:)




Thanks to Steve Parkers LTD of Rochdale for the quick delivery.

Look really good quality and they supplied the clips. Will be fitting soon, when the rain stops.

Will do.

Mmm. Nice and shiny :cool: Happy Birthday too:)!!

I've just done similar to SWMBO's D1 - made quite a difference to it - the originals were leaking :rolleyes: - I mean how dare they - they were only 17 years old :D:D:D
 
Well nothing went pop. And they make a lot more difference than I thought they would.
Maybe my old hoses were worse than I thought, but there's definitely less drop in revs/boost when changing gear. And I can't be making that up as it's an auto.
Overall, well chuffed:)

Nice one OLD GIMMER. :) ... I really wish they did a suitable kit for the L series - just the turbo out to intercooler and intercooler to inlet .....
I am going to have to order the basic tubes as they ARE extremely good and more than capable of 20 PSI... mine hold the boost fine (at 20 / 21) but feel saggy with engine stopped. The brit parts are for nothing though and are REALLY REALLY good - many use them here for upped boost with absolutely no issues - a set is on the way.

I must confess, owing to your 'advancement of years' the blue is quite fitting... it will match your 'rinse'

:D

Wish I had enough hair to put a blue rinse on.
Then again I could grow what I've got left and go for a blue rinse comb over.
Could be a new fashion:confused:

Don't have that issue Mike. I have no hair for either a rinse OR a comb over.... :(
It just sort of 'fell out' since I was about 25... (34 years ago ) :oops::rolleyes:o_O

I still only feel about 18 / 20 in my ;head; but my body - some how - does not......................................:(.....

I have to ask the bride to pick up something I dropped....;) - even without the beer.................. sob sob :D

Old age and poverty eh ? - I cannot be skint though !:eek: - as I have far more money than I can drink ? :confused::rolleyes:
I would rather have a bottle in front of me that a frontal lobotomy.... and the other adage - work is the curse of the drinking class... :rolleyes::confused::D

Nice job on the EGR bypass mate. Makes mine look very rough. just one question though, was it worth all the work when a new one is £20? I decided not and bought one for the Doris's car.

Happy birthday Mike, I see you got the full kit with three bits. I ordered a similar Bearmach kit the other day and hit lucky getting it for only £43 delivered.
Only issue is the colour.

Ugh! I'll need a vomit bag every time I open the bonnet. :p

You're just trying to be polite, maybe you're in the wrong forum. They're snot green, it looks like someone had the mother of all head colds and sneezed all over them!
I just bought them cause they're cheap which suits me cause so am I. :p
