So My Turbo Just Blew

[simply_mighty]

So I got the oil leak sorted... Everything is running great and it's pretty quick.

Only thing is ( and Craig will be pissed at this ) - the miss us was adamant didn't like it anymore and wanted it gone. So the new owner came and picked it up this evening...

Not too happy but what can you do

I'll be back though...

Oil leak was LHS cam cover gasket again. I retightened everything up and it isn't happening anymore. I think I may have let it drop out of the channel in the cover a bit at the front on fitting.

I had no love for the turbo replacement, but I really liked the power it was making afterwards. You still thinking of getting something else ala Audi?

I owned it for 12 months, thats not too bad. The other half never liked it though (apart from the boot space) and it just wasn't worth the hassle of her never liking driving it (and it being her main car...)
