Good Day,
Could anyone please tell me where i can get some circlips for the Actuator arm, or the part number, or a link
The internet seems awash with them but i can't work out which is actually the right one !
I like to free up the movement on the arm every now and then under normal maintenance or when the slight hesitation @ 2500 rpm re appears :)
One day i am going to lose the damn circlip, so would be handy to have some spares ( almost lost it last week hence the post )

A post on this forum somewhere recommends attaching a length of fine thread (or wire?) to it before you start to take it off. That way you can retrieve it when it flies... ;)

It was me, and it works, i've dropped mine more than once and its stayed on the thread :)

Exact ones aren't available as far as I know which is why we always stress that they are not to be lost.
You could always take yours as a pattern to compare others to.

I just 'Liked' Garfi's post and was going to reply, and then realised I no longer have a turbo. :roll:
(Still, it's a good post anyway.)

Just to let you know I lost mine today while trying to sort out my funny sound problem. Believe it or not I have used a Safety Pin and a small electric tie to secure the arm as a temporary repair :D
