Free Swirl flap blanks 22mm

Post by marinaman » Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:35 pm

Hi all
As i was doing glow plugs i bought a kit from Amazon which included 22mm flap blanks along with the gasket kit for the manifold.  oddly  this was cheaper than some sellers just selling the gasket kit alone on Ebay.

so i have these 6 blanks and 6 rubber O rings that go with them.
Free of charge as no use to me,  just the postage cost.  i take paypal !  just pm me  cost i think about £4 to post

From October 04 3.0D M57N engine

I was led to believe only the earlier e53s had swirl flaps? I have an 05 3.0d and was told it didn't have any?

All E53's escaped the dreaded swirlflaps
Unfortunately the E83's (X3's ) didn't
