1.8t turbo

On my money pit , it appears that the turbo is blown

Anybody know of any cheap ones ???

Don't muck about with turbos mate, get a new/exchange one from somewhere such as Euro's. Can guarantee the quality then.

If you want I'll bell them and use my trade discount for you?

Wow, there not cheap are they, plus time to fit one. Knowing you the turbo probably is going to cost more than the car

As Iain said, I have a habit of destroying turbos, and its always best to get the proper part as those cheapo ones just fail and you have to buy the real deal in the end.

I suppose you could try a recon place like http://www.midlandturbo.com

As far as you know, is that the last of the problems on the car?

As far as I know there is nothing else major, but I can't justify spending £600ish on a new turbo.

I've seen a few second hand ones for between £200/£300 I might go for one of them, they come with a 30 day warranty and I thoughts are if it's going to blow it will be in the first week or so.

I will find out on Monday is it is the Turbo, I knew i was going to have to do some engine work and had budgeted for it , but what I hadn't was for the bill I'm got/going to get for getting the engine started and moving the car about

well I've ordered a second hand turbo of Charles Trent breakers, they offer a full 12 month warranty on the turbo.

So touch wood it should be OK.

PS If it does blow up, you can all call me a even tighter wad than normal
