just got back from kwik fit and they confirm that there is nothing wrong with the exhaust system and to take it to a local ford dealer to look at as they think that it is the turbo.
just to make sure that the aa were wrong i called out the RAC and he confirms that the turbo is make a noise but so doing a lot

2004 2.0 lack of power - TurboD
I used to own a diesel turbo- hence my name- but now am a converted petrol head, smooth as silk.
My turbo packed up at around 145K, they last a long time usually, if you oil is changed properly.
When it 'went' it sounded like a 'stick in a bicycle wheel', your post is not easy to read and could do with a modicum of punctuation, as well as the correct usage of the verbs provided in the English language.

[I've seen worse posts on here...]

Is this petrol or diesel? TDDi? TDCi? Vacuum operated turbo or electronic rotary actuator?

Remember that English may be a second language to some posters.
