Hi Guys,

I have just upgraded my td5 to a v8 torque convertor & while there, im going to change my donut ... my original donut has never been changed in the 5 years ive owned it and its only lookin a slight bit perished ... I dont want to goto a 200 prop and do away with it, as i like the smoothness of the power delivery ...

So question is, there are 3 options ...

Meyle HD donut £59.99
Terrafirma donut £ 28.89
GKN donut £65.88

Im guessing, terrafirma is going to be last choice ... but which brand would be the better quality?

Cheers

I would suggest there probably isn't much difference between Meyle and GKN although I have no experience in said item.

I'd plump for GKN, assuming they are still actually the GKN of old.

I fitted the Meyle one 10,000 miles ago & it still looks perfect. I'll be underneath it tomorrow changing the oil & filter (before Billing at the weekend) so I'll have another peek at it.
