yeah thanks mate i will, i think ive solved most of the probs now, ive got the turbo rebuilt at a cost of 450quid the head is off being rebuilt now at another 250quid, ive already had other bills of 450 labour costs for dodgey bearing the last owners garage fitted, then hopefully it will be fine,

when the head was off had a good look at the block and pistons, they were very carbonised on top and very oily, mechanic said that this was okay jst tired from the use, i guess this type of car will have had a lot of stick unless u buy a very low miler or sum1 has looked after it meticulasly, ive jst put it down to luck of the draw and hope things are looking up now!

thanks luke.
