Hi Chris (ceedy) PM sent with regards to testing the new Yellow diesel bush, as stated above some members seem to have bad vibrations other none at all but what is not right or any good to any member is buying a mount and after 2.5 months it starts to rip itself apart there as got to be a design fault and hopefully this new Yellow bush will put it right, but at the moment i think the chinese (roverlink) is the way forward and it a straight fit no removing the old centre etc, once the Yellow diesel powerflex as been fitted and tested on the car over a few months we will then see how it stands up against the Chinese bush.
One will be fitted to an Auto diesel and one to a manual diesel to see also if this makes any difference in its performance Arctic.

Yes Steve I managed to locate a steering damper and fitted it. It made no discernable difference.

with regards to the Red diesel bush which as been reported as giving on some car a vibration and is a few cases as failing chewing its self up for one reason or another i have been in talks with james the sales manager from powerflex and he sent out two new yellow modifed diesel bush as in this thread.
I again contacted him notifying him that i/we had received the modifed ones and that they will be road tested and the performance would be reported back to him, i also asked if they were willing to refund or replace the ones members had purchased and had failed the answer is below cheers Arctic. Hi Steve, Thanks for letting me know. Yes, any red mounts that fail will be covered under our lifetime warranty and would be replaced with the new yellow one...providing it works! I’d just require the customer to email us at [email protected] with a photo of the failed mount and proof of purchase and we will exchange it for them. I look forward to hearing how you get on. Many thanks for your patience and assistance with this matter, it is very much appreciated. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Kind Regards James Bourn ~ Sales Manager

Hi Denis.
Good question as james did not say i will find out but i presume the same price but as all companys if it takes longer to make different tooling etc we as a the public tend to get the cost past on to us Arctic.
