Both seem to contain the same parts... just one is a bit more money than the other.

I noticed one says n/a and the other doesn\'t. But do both engines use the same parts? (n/a and turbo)

thanks

They seem to have quite a few different kits for sale on there.
I\'d be interested to know which would be the right one for a rebuild on a \'99 FD

Yeah, there are so many on there.

Someone in the know will know... just need to wait on one of those clever people coming along. :)

I\'ve asked them if the cheaper of the kits would be suitable to rebuild my car. I\'ll post the reply I get.

With your engine having had a recent rebuild could you not just change the o rings

O-rings? Is that the water seals then?

If so, yeah... I hope so anyway.

Yeah, they\'re not actually. It\'s what I might do. Will see what it\'s like once it\'s apart.

The engine only has 3000miles on it, so as long as the housings etc are still ok, then it should just be a case of the seals. Think you can get them all for about £140ish.
