Moderator drewpy Posted February 26, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2011 sad but true, my RX4 blew its turbo tonight in Breightmet of all places (Kev's gaff) saw a lot of smoke at first, then the engine revved its nuts off so i had to stall it. Luckily I saved the rest of the engine before all the oil got sucked in! was on the way to sis in law's so she rescued us and I placed trip mines around the car and camoflaged it. (only joking Kev) so I'm looking for a motor now, up to £3k. Seen an ad for a nissan primera 2.2dcu diesel and a vauxhaul Zafira 2 DTi 16v ATM. wish me luck! I'll have to get the school bus monday morning with all the kids, wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2011 I have had a couple of zafiras. Very bus like but lots of space. Ideal for school and shopping runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Errrr .... I have to ask the obvious, if the engine's OK why not just get the turbo replaced? Those nice chaps at Turbo Technics will do a replacement unit for a lot less than a new car. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
