exhaust dilemma!

[leroiandjayne]

hi all,just returned from france with a blown exaust again!!!! ,anyway,got it welded and should be ok for a while but its had a few repairs now,some before we got the bus so its going to need replacing sooner rather than later.dilemma,had a look on jk earlier at the silencers and the one for the turbo diesel is different to the one iv got on,so is the downpipe,turns out the one we have is for the non-turbo,she is a turbo jx engine so,whats the difference?apart from about £25.00,im getting about 50 mpg and she runs sweet,should i just get the like for like replacemet? if not iv got to change all the mounting brackets too, thoughts greatly appreciated, thanks.....leroi

I'm failrly sure Chickenkoop has a new diesel silencer (OEM) for sale. Not sure if he's put it in the For Sale section yet but if you're interested I'll ask him for you. He works nights but think hes off work on Fridays.

thanks mate id appreciate that,as i say tho im unsure about what the difference is between the standard one and the diesel one apart from price and fittings. cheers

Just spoken to Chickenkoop - he only wants £60 for the silencer (bargain I'd say). I think (and I'm no expert on diesels, its to do with bore sizes. He did say he's advertised the box in Brickyard - with pic. Its never been used.

looks sorted,but id have to replace the down-pipe and all the brackets as well to make it fit me bus! hmmm theres a dilemma, cheers for that ill let you know.

[leroiandjayne]

can you ask chickencoop what he means when he ses its to do with bore sizes by the way cos i am novice to this mechanics buisness,computers an pretty much anything that uses electric am not too bad at,cheers

Hopefully he'll login this evening or you could try sending him a message on the Brickyard. Others may be able to clarify this though. I don't own a diesel so can't help but many do. I'm sure someone will be able to explain the differences.

Hiya, right this silencer was given to me with the van,it won't fit mine so it 4sale, looking at the j,kampers catalogue i think its a 1.7 diesel silencer (J10100) but don't quote me, thats what it looks like,checkout the photo covkid put up 4 me, thanks,
