Just seen the post on WIDTMST thread - just what you don't need now or at any time. Good luck Jim.

Thanks Geoff - at least it hadn't actually blown. It was spectacular when it did it on my Abbott Aero estate. That was fantastic smoke screen and then a slow motor in a van to laybye!

Happy Christmas to you

And the same back to you Jim. Mine went gradually - a few days of clouds of white smoke on startup, with a corresponding reduction in power- so it was something costly whatever it was!

Well new turbo on.

£345 fitting includes gaskets, washers, oil change, fitting new oil trap etc. Add to that turbo at £265 and pipes £114 and I'm happy
