There is a company on Elland trading estate who have every possible piece of test equipment I would suggest you take it there or a similar specialist.A normal garage cannot set up a turbo correctly they do not have the skill or the equipment.In your case it looks like the actuator is not set up and is causing the turbo to fail but it could be many thinks.
My Colt CZ1 1.1 3dr is perfect except for a few vibrations in the cabin and one problem I've had for a long time, the clutch.

By the way, I'm in my eighties and have probably never had the car above sixty miles an hour. Anybody had similar issues with Mitsubishi?

In the CBCB about the Toyota Avensis, HJ mentions that earlier models had a problem with high oil consumption due to a bore liner problem and/or being fitted with slightly undersize pistons.

Travel up through Spain overnight to Santander or Bilbao - do it regularly and you don't see any "Trafico" - ferry to Plymouth or Portsmouth bypassing France. Then sort out your UK problems.
Hi, My heater blower has just stopped working on my 2003 ford ka. The switch does not work in any of the four positions. I have just checked the fuse, No 12 (30amp) and it is fine. Any help or advice please. Many Thanks. Read more
