Got home eventually on Friday and had my brother waiting for me at my house . He was there to tell me some bad news that our father has taken ill and there is not much time left . So my father has my unadulterated attention . So the testing my job and anything else has to go on the back burner . I'm sorry guys but as we all have fathers u know how important family is . With this been so unexpected I'm telling everyone I love that I love them . I hope all goes well and I'll b back when I've pulled my headout of my **** .

I have one thats in pieces, are you after just the threaded bolt part or the whole controller?
If you dont have much luck finding one on your side of the world, I can post it to you.

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Just the threaded bolt thing Scullies

 

[Scullies]

Just the threaded bolt thing Scullies

that I can do, but I will need it back when you done
send me your postal address and I will send it over when I have some time to go past the post office.

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Is there anyone that wants to test the insert then?

 

[chaz20vt]

Come ocn people this could be a really good mod just needs some testing

I'll test your adjustable one but won't be able to give feedback for a while

 

[Chlippo]

If i was local i would happily test it. Sadly im across the ocean

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

thats not a problem

 

[Dani_B19]

If I wasn't skint I'd and had some spare time test it .

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

I'm not asking anyone to pay for this insert. I just want someone to test it and say what they think

 

[Pedrosousa]

I'll test it but I'm in Portugal, testing it or not I'll buy one... My car it's a pre facelift version

How difficult is it to fit? Could I do it on jacks?

 

[slowcoach3]

I have a non esp old style haldex and I'm happy to test if its any use.....

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

you need to take the haldex controller off to fit it.

it can be done under axle stands yes

 

[Gops]

Have you finished the one I'm testing yet Andrew?

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

No not yet

Im just getting some cylinder head done and out of the way first

 

[g60leigh]

How you gettin on with this Andrew? Happy to use my car as test bed if it helps.

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

No not yet

Still on with the above

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Managed to get one of the adjustable parts made today

also I will have both types of 50/50 inserts done soon

 

[chaz20vt]

Can't wait for this to be tested i want one

 

[Westy]

Looks great Andrew. Seems a shame its out of sight.

 

[Gops]

Yeah looks great! Will be good to test on my new haldex

 

[chaz20vt]

When you testing this gops

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

I just have to wait for the gaskets and longer bolts

The part above is made out of 316 stainless steel so it won't rust under the car

As soon as the bolts and gaskets have come they will be sent out to Gops

 

[everard90]

keep us all posted on results

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

It will be sent out to Gops this week

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Will be looking into getting this product design patented if all goes well

 

[rhys1210]

One quick question regarding this. The standard controller and the upgrades have an over ride protection function to allow it to go back to front wheel drive only, if the oil temp get too high. Andrew, With this insert I gather this will protection will no longer work?

I thought about oil temps

Increase oil capacity with this

 

[Pedrosousa]

It's also possible to put a switch to cut the power to the haldex

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

It's also possible to put a switch to cut the power to the haldex

But that would make it a 2 wheel drive then

 

[Gops]

Can't wait! I have a new haldex unit going on soon so that'll be put on before I put the haldex in, making better pictures!

 

[Pedrosousa]

It's good for parking and driving arround the city.

But lets wait for the test results
