51 plate Alhambra 1.9tdi 115, Loss of power, lot of blue/grey smoke (especially under load or revving), and slight noise under the bonnet. Had the RAC out to tow the car home, roadside diagnosis being turbo f*cked, how is best to confirm this? Just before pulling over, the car struggled to pull over 40 in 3rd, smoke when revved stinks of oil.

its the turbo and they are a bitch to get to ,driveshafts have to come off and the bolts are in a stupid place you can get a rebuild kit for £30 but most of the bolts will snap

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?
