I'm the bad guy that swapped with jay that your all talking about.
He went out in the car when we swapped
There was nowt wrong with it as I drove 200miles to meet up with him
All I've had off him is this is fucked that is fucked most all service parts ie fuel filter that was changed 1 month before he got it
it was regauly serviced using mobil 1 never ratled smoked or never fucked about not holding boost.
He fucked about with the timing so this could be the cause of the misshap he told me this himself in a pm.
Ive seen the advise people have given him on here and he has'nt listened to any of ya about getting the timing sorted.
I've had 3 Rs turbos so have had a bit of experience with them alright I'm no mechanic but you know when your car is fucked don't ya!
As for the scrapping it was rear brake shoes I told him this on the day.

Don't also believe he swapped a minter because the RS2K was also full of faults too.
But life goes on.
As for the reason for swapping the RS2K was my old car!
I would have bought it off him any way if he did'nt want to swap.
But in my eyes he got a better deal as the S2 was worth more money anyway

I'm sorry things have'nt gone to plan for him but thats life of owning an RS turbo
Just out of intreast though the people that think they are big and hard that are saying Shove it through his window and we must know where he lives can shove it up there arse as at the end of the day Jay wanted the car and he chose to swap.

But he wants to make his mind up whats wrong with it though as 1st its the dizzy then the fan then the head gasket otr thermostat and now he has just informed me it was the turbo at fault
Yes I feel he has'nt had the best of look with it and I would'nt want to wish it upon any 1
But at the end of the day Jay wanted the car Badly
