Ford Mondeo LX TDCI 05 Reg 115bhp - Ford Mondeo Boost Pressure Wastegate - gravy173

After ongoing issues with my car and the dreaded flashing glow plug light, the diesel specialist garage has said that it is the boost pressure wastegate which is the problem. They have said that they cant be bought seperately and Ford will only sell it alongside a new Turbo unit for £1000. Is there anywhere where these can be obtained?

micktheturbo on ebay from around £200,if you want a new one they are £670 plus vat its acommon fault on jag x type diesels and later fords only an idiot would put a delicate electonic component over the exhaust manifold.but before you go down this line check out and clean the egr valve.
