Looking at getting the supercharger rebuilt. See a few site that say the charger can fail between 80 & 100k mine has just hit 80k
Is it an eaton m45 charger on my 53 plate S.
Also would it be cheaper and easier buying a new one rather than rebuild it original.
Either way it's going to get a few mods done. Pulley,belt, remap and possible Decat if all goes well.

A guy on MT is selling new ones for £500 if you want a bit of insurance. Otherwise I would do an oil change on it and leave it

Yeah mark. I can't recomend Roland at Gtt enough for supercharger upgrade n rebuild. I just had mine done bout 2weeks ago, car has never sounded so good since. Are you getting any noise from charger, left ic horn area. A rattling etc. if not your charger should be fine. You will know when it's going.

If it was me I'd leave it until it fails. Just because some do doesn't mean that yours will.

Guys, just been looking at this charger on ebay, the input flute seems too long for the R53, or at least it seems considerably longer than the images of R53 chargers I can find online.

Never got it in the end went for just under £400
