I'd remove the pipe before the pancake (have something ready to catch the oil) you'll lose about a cup full if its the seals shot.

Don't panic if it is this, if you don't want to chuck a load of money at it get a decent second hand turbo, its mainly the labour time that would be a killer but if you do it yourself its not too bad (remember £250 for a turbo to get the car working is less than I've paid for some MOT fail sheets)  :laugh:

Turbo is time consuming to fix but once you've done it should last you a good while - dive in!

Just have a look for one local to you because you normally pay a bit for postage.
If you get stuck at any point pm me here and I'll get an email on my phone and will be able to guide you through anything your stuck on :)

Where abouts in Wales are you my family live on Anglesey, near Amlwch. Yeah PM away. I would seriously recommend a second set of hands (but that's not a volunteer  :tongue:)
If you weren't too far from Amlwch I am sure that I could help but only get down about once a month
