DIS pack quote
« on: 03 March 2008, 10:53:47 »
Been quoted £100+vat for a dis pack change. Thats not including dis pack itself, but have sourced 1 for £70.

Is this a reasonable quote?

I am a bit put off by the awkwardness to try it myself  :-[

Its not hard just awkward, although i think you will have the vertical one on yours which is just a tad more frustrating

It is horizontal from what i can tell by feel alone. Horizontal at a slight angle but a definate 3 top 3 bottom.
Can anybody confirm a part number?

thats the vertical one, where the leads come off it towards the bulkhead, horizontal ones sit upright where the leads come off the top, can be a bit confusing :-/

Ah I see. I was thinking of horizontal and vertical layout rather than mount. It all becomes clear lol, yes it is vertical. So typically I have the most awkward. :-/

I find them easier, the securing bolts are easier to get at.

There is only one version of vertical DIS pack:
