I've got a TD04 sat in my garage and I'm wondering what to do with it.

Can't remember the exact fault, but I think it was the oil seals. It went to Turbo Dynamics for assessing and the repair cost was circa £250.

Yes, it's not in the best of health but skipping it seems a waste.

Whilst it would be nice to get £50 or something for it, I'd rather see it get reconditioned or something rather than ending up as land fill.

Suggestions anyone?

Chris.

My fall back was a plant pot in my new garden

Anything slightly more useful?

I like the idea of the plant pot - one of my old pZeros found it's way into the garden as a plant pot.

Well, if anyone wants a base TD04 to fix and hybrid, I'm right here!

Doubt it'll fit on a VAG PD130 engine once fixed though...
