Thanks!

If you look in the sticky, you'll find some O/S sites that could help.
You'll need to check your part #, but 52059446AC is $149.44 USD + postage from http://www.sprinterparts.net as an example.

If you are going to replace it yourself, I remember reading somewhere that the bolts are the wrong way around on the driver's side mount - making acces far more difficult than it needs to be.

You may need to drop the exhaust off the back of the turbo to get the bolt out, bit of a bugger. Make sure you have a good selection of e-torx spanners too as you are going to need them. eBay has some reasonably priced options.

That sounds about right, I had a look around the back of the engine when I had to replace the clip holding the dump pipe on (painful!) and the bolts to get the engine mounts out didn't look easy to get to or to remove!

So I gather that the mounts are a Merc part as well? I wasn't sure if Jeep had used the Merc engine with Jeep mounts to suit the frame, or if they were Merc mounts as well. I will have a hunt around for part numbers, last time I looked I think I worked out that the Jeep and Merc part numbers didn't line up.

As for the steering pump, it looks like its just the line that needs fixing, so now its just a case of waiting till I can be without the car for a few days to get the line out and take it to pirtek to have a look at.

Check drovers thread for the parts catalogue link, it is handy.

Looks like the parts are Jeep and different to MB Sprinter at least, I can't say if it is the same for other MB chassis that use this engine.

Just looked at jeepoverstock and they have injectors (genuine) for the 2.7 at $429

Any fellas who have replaced any light globes like to check out this Narva Cat
for me http://www.narva.com.au/products/globeChart and confirm the numbers, seems the WG/J had the same headlights but could be some differn't globes elsewhere.

Actually found this link in my book http://www.eziautoparts.com.au/lighting.html covers it very well.

I think for a start they have the front indicators wrong. They show either an orange wedge or a clear parallel pin single contact bayonet but from memory I'm pretty sure mine (Limited) was an amber bayonet. The clear bayonet though may suit the Laredo, doesn't it have orange lens'. The orange wedge is petrol though isn't it as I'm sure the Yank guys refer to the wedges.
