Confirmed - it is the red turbo outlet pipe thats gone; apparently the garage have left me several messages.....

Anyhoo now for the best part....

£80 diagnostics - fair enough......
£100 + VAT for the pipe!!  :shocked: :shocked:
£105 to fit the fooking thing!! Urm up on a ramp its a spring clip, two jubilee clips and its free

So I've ordered the pipe, pick that up in the morning and fit it myself

Now got to work out if I can afford to go to JKM this weekend  :sad:

wonder whether it was the drive shaft rubbing on it which caused it to go :undecided: send the bill to forge for making a product not suitable for its purpose  :lipsrsealed:

£150 pipe, better than new turbo time :smug:

It's always nice when you imagine the worst, and it's something a lot smaller [and cheaper!!!] :smiley:
