I was scared that this was going to be the case. It isn't exactly hard to start, turns over first go but its a little bit spluttery in the morning if its very cold, otherwise its not too bad. But when I get home from work Ill take the intake pipe off and check the vanes on the turbo. But I think I'm already accepting the fact that the engine is toast. I bought this 4wd of a copper...you thought he would of looked after it! If that is the case, know of any good 2nd hand motor sales?
