Don't forget D8 turbos and V6s.

Nah, no volcanoes here (soil could do with it though)

Far canal! Managed to do a parts search on service box and they do indeed cost as much as the guy says :shock:

Yep, D8 V6 (sometimes it's more useful without your VIN number 8) ). I'm thinking this would include D8 V6 coupes too.

Yep. A case of down the scrappies and do it myself.....so much for saving time and effort by taking it to the garage. I should know by now.

The last time I ever used a garage they charged me £800 and completely f*cked up my car. Never again I said.

BHi guys, I'm 90% sure the Coupe 3L V6 with the ML 5t gearbox is exactly the same too! Same on servicebox....I think.

Looks like it is, so long as it's a D8

Yep, same part numbers on service box.
£40 delivered by a guy that breaks & restores Coupes in Chesterfield.
I got my Coupe alloys off him last year and he threw in strut brace for free!

The guy at the garage, will fit it for £50 which is fair enough. I don't fancy squiming around under the car in the snow tomorrow.

Phew!
