Hi all,
Just picked up a Dturbo, phase 2. I used to spend a fair bit of time on theywhoshallnotbenamed, for my old xldt (which I still have). Loved the Dturbo for years, came by a decent phase 2 so picked it up. Been working away at little jobs like track rod ends and balljoints etc.
One thing that worries me, is I bought it and THEN thought "ooo, I wonder if it is a DHY?" and it is...
Just wondering - I have seen quite a few posts about these throwing rods, anyone ever get any impression of what sort of percentage failure rate there was on these? The car has done 80,000 miles and going well, not been thrashed or tuned (all the tamper proof paint stuff still on all the threads on the pump). Just wonder how likely it is to go?
Anyway, too late now!
