Issue is id only get scrap value for it France side and it has £150 worth of new tyres, £100 worth of spare fuel, clothes, my £300 tent, my £200 roofbox etc.

This is incorrect. 1 part of the repatriation decision is Apparently the value of the car has to be more than the cost of bringing it home £959, but less than the value of the repairs £1500.
So if the car were worth a good few 000 it would have to be one hell of a repair bill for them to ever consider bringing it back.
My car is worth in this tiny "goldie locks" zone but they dispute this of course.

Find a local expat (or expat website) that can help?
They will not release the car to anyone other than me or authorized transporter.
Plus this was the cheapest quote of 3 they got. Its a £100 fix back here, buy a second hand turbo off eBay and I can fit it myself!!

They always have mileage limits, or so expensive I might as well pay them to recover
