okay, got the car back last tuesday, mechanic pulled the timing down and got it to run rich so its a flamin mongrel at cold starts, and is slow as all hell and made me put around the area in it. over the 350odd km ive done over the week, driving to maccas and trying to pickup barely legal bitches from epping plaza, it has, developed a small waterleak started leaking from the rear turbo drain shredded a power steering belt for absolutely no f**king reason lol
just dropped it off to the mechanics for a bit and well see how we go with more timing n leaks fixed
