As long as it's the Turbo and not the engine! I've no experience with Turbo's - is it a DIY job? Suppose it's good practice to buy a new/recon one?

depends on how much you want to pay.

the repair bill more likely to cost more than your car value anyway

It just bolts straight into the manifold.

Not bad - i'm just worried about it lasting, they're only as good as how the cars been driven really aren't they? Kinda want peace of mind really!

I've emailed these guys (just now - so not sure how much yet)

www.turbocentreuk.co.uk/

'Your Turbo Re-Conditioned

Before you go buying a turbo get the rocker cover gasket sorted and a good service then see what happens short term!

Ok thanks. A mate of mine did suggest it might not be the turbo as it's not 'holding back' or making any noise...

I'll give that a go this weekend. Guessing it's a DIY job? Only ever done one on a Capri and an old Mini!

Yea the gasket is actually probably the easiest :L

No spark plugs to do...
So oil and filter change air filter wouldnt go miss and pollen while your at it.
