Hiya,
It appears i may have to swap the turbo on the 306. Never done one before. Total newbie to the whole diesel thing.
Is there anything specific i should be wary of in this process? Any hints and tips would be very much appreciated.

Put a jack under the sump
Take the drivers side engine mount off
Lower the jack this will tilt the engine forward giving access to the inlet manifold and turbo.
Its not too bad
Cheers james

When you lower the engine grab the inlet and pull engine forward to get more room!

Be liberal with wd40 on the exhaust/inlet bolts. I've not had an issue myself but read a few times where people have snapped and/or rounded them
Also disconnect exhaust from the top of the downpipe first as when the engine is pulled forward it will strain the joint making them harder to undo - Again plenty of wd40.
What turbo is going back on? If its off, it may be a good time for an upgrade......

Can't afford to upgrade at the minute. So it'll just be a standard. It's just done the classic "running on it's own oil" thing where it revs high.. that's gotta be the turbo oil seals hasn't it?

Yea, more than likely. May be worth just checking the breather pipes first but I think your probably right.

If it's been running on its own oil make sure you clean the oil out of the intercooler and inlet
