Default Diesel Parts Source

So, had a play with my DMF and it feel like it has excessive movement. Will be putting dial gauge on it tonight for bearing play and also radial, but looked more like 40mm to the eye

Would a failing DMF cause clutch slave to fail prematurely?

So, if I need a new one, found the following so far. Simply put, the E-bay one is cheaper. Should I be worried about that when rimmer is so expensive?

Also, does anyone have any experience with a Tazu slave? Considering the upgrade while I have it open.

Default Dual mass flywhell

The consensus is to go with the OEM part made by Cortec. My original lasted over 110k miles. Jules can supply and he said to me that some pattern flywheels have not lasted even 10000 miles.

I think the OEM DMF was made by LUK?

What are the symptoms ?

a Luk doc gives for the 415 0237 10

20 degrees or 6 teeth and a rock of 1.6 mm

Nothing to do IMO

Seems the slave metal Tazu is reliable

32mm of travel around the circumference

I though LUK were the OEM part too.

Woo, another part for hte order

Euro car parts - £490. Rimmer - £513.

I was thinking it would be more like £300 from past posts. Anywhere cheaper at the moment?

wow what a difference in price..

I have found euro car parts steadily getting more and more expensive lately and so I have started using other online places instead.

there are a few good ebay shops around at the moment..

Very true, even my trade account can be more expensive than items in the retail site!!!

However the DMF on my trade login is showing £335 as my trade price but still not good enough for me to use them for anything else but consumables.

yep - totally Phil..

even the discount codes most of the time only take the parts down to a level where they are just above the prices obtained elsewhere..

anyway - moaning over.. lol...
