Looks the ££££££££. A nice car there Colin! I was on the way to collect it myself until the police destroyed my daily hack!

Glad it's gone to another member.

Interesting, care to share

[iancho]

I'm sure you will love it and cherish it Colin, it couldn't of gone to a more worthy member... although it does look slightly afraid sitting there

So, it would seem I am now again one of the boost pipe blowers (I thought those days were gone), so time to make a new top pipe next week.

Sorry Adrian I completely missed this!

Yeah I had a 2008 Titanium X Sport 2.2 TDi Mondeo that the Police rather kindly decided to "park" or should I say crash into during some sort of what I can only assume was a persuit. It was parked on the road outside. First I heard was when the Police Sgt who was sent as the officer who crashes supervisor knocked on the door to tell me.

Unfortunately no pics... I was too angry to even think about it and it was hiab away the same night

you don't seem to have much luck with some of your motors, good job you weren't in it at the time, did it do much damage Emlyn ?

One of the problems I've found with RIP kits is the way they all (all the ones I've made) seem to gradually ride up and eventually pop off the turbo, the original top pipe has a bracket to stop this happening, so today I just took the original bracket put a 90 degree bend in the bottom and bolted it to the cam cover, problem solved, RIP top pipe is now solid.
I also replaced the top part with one piece instead of two.

Original as I had the car:



Modified with bracket:

That doesn't look like it will be moving again in a hurry.

[T5frankie]

good idea i keep having this problem

[S70T5Chris]

That was a recurring problem I had on the S70, it did my head in! Making some sort of bracket like you have was always on my list of things to do. It will be getting done on the 850! Nice job!

[claymore]

Only problem with doing it my way is I haven't got a spark plug cover, but it would just need a longer bolt

[Jamest5r]

Idle control unpluged??
