Turbos held up well since the rebuild.
Come to a bit of a situation now tho.
Cars having to do 400mile a week and the lump is deffinatley showing signs of age (unsolvable oil leaks, throws water out, wisps of white smoke and still consumes oil)
The way i see it this old gals not got long left at all and i can only see two answers for her
- reshell into a clean hdi estate with low miles
- build and prepare another engine to drop in
Either way its a hard choice to make and at least ive got some time to think while i save and consider my options. Reshell would mean a nice clean slate, but transfering everything over to reincarnate the car properly.. just she will stay shiney.
Or build a lump to do the setup justice, possibility of 16v rods and arps and the deffinate side of skimmed with new gasket, fresh r70, fresh injectors, cambelt, new clutch setup and a lick of paint
