Default Intake Manifold - Hella Vac Pod

Here is an interesting one.

I was replacing those little links on the D2 S8 and noticed the plastic part on top of the Hella Vacuum pod had broken.

Now, you can but them as part of a kit from the US for £355!

So I thought I would look at what our sponsors had on their website and what was on eBay but nothing could be seen. Therefore had a Google session and found something interesting, the pod is used on a Range Rover.

P38 (1994 to 1999) V8 Cruise Control Vacuum Pump to be accurate, £20 later and this was delivered.

Confirmed all fits perfectly and it is the exact same Hella part.

10 minute job to change over and no more lean bank engine fault code

Ah interesting

Well the good old P38 Range Rover spares could help with those also.
