Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
You can get refurb kits for them on fleabay, about £80 I think without looking but don't know if it would solve the problem. They're just the input gear and needle rollers.

Not at all
I was thinking of you really, saving you all the hassle of finding parts for it Perhaps you'd take £65 for it..bakerstreet

I'd say that was a good price. I have seen them go for £300 on ebay!
However, I have one on my diesel and I spent a lot of time trying to fnd the series I wanted with OD and I I'm not that convinced. I recon its worth about another 10-15mph and it makes it a bit quieter, but thats about it.
It might be a bit better in petrol engined series.

£300 and the rest! When I was looking for one I couldn't get one for that....I ended up getting a Rocky Mountain one and they're proper expensive (but better).
I wouldn't be without one if you ever go on a motorway.

How good are the earlier overdriven sometimes seem on eBay?
