Good job it wont be me doing the work! I've got a friend of a friend, semi retired mechanic, willing to do it for £125 - £150, I've just got to buy the bits. I had considered a rebuild kit, but having never attempted rebuilding one myself, and the mechanic not too keen on doing a rebuild, coupled to the fact that I need the car back on the road asap, looks like it'll be used or recon part.
I went out to move it up on to the garden earlier, and it was like it suddenly got very foggy lol, couldnt see for smoke.
Apart from the obvious turbo, are there any other bits I'm likely to need, ie bits likely to snap come removal?
