The guys have just rang me. Unfortunately they reckon the turbo is shot. With a complete engine flush, full service, which by the sounds of it was the cause of the turbo going in the first place, the cost of the new turbo all in it works out at £1100+VAT.
They reckon the car hasnt been serviced properly the last couple of times it has went in, add to that a very low standard oil being used and heh presto!!

well this sounds very unfortunate, sorry to read about this Ivan. i know its all a bit late now but, what were the problems? im surprised to hear some shoddy servicing has blown your turbo, doesnt make sense to me. some cars hardly ever get serviced, and live long and prosperous lives, ive never heard of poor servciing blowing the turbo, but them im no mechanic. has the garage explained HOW this could be? for that sort of money, id be liking to know how they came to this rather expensive conclusion, and if its driveable, ask them to put it all back and drive home for a second opinion, but thats just me.

hey, good luck with this, i hope something crops up for the better,,,

A short story now follows.

Last Sunday evening my family and i were making our way to the airport to catch a plane to turkey for our annual pilgrimage to the sun. we got within 3 miles of the airport when there was a loud wheezing/spinning/whirring (delete where applicable) noise coming from the engine. I pulled in at the next filling station to investgate further. The noise was indeed coming from the turbo, the more revs, the worse the noise became. I podded on, slowly to the carpark of the airport, parked the car, shuttled to airport, then on to our final destination for the week. on return from our hols we went to pick up the car, the noise was still present. so instead of moving it, we called the RAC. The RAC guy confirmed it was the turbo. a lowloader was sent for to ferry my stricken 4X4 to my home. they felt it might not be too bad owing to the fact that it started, and didnt smoke. I then contacted our nearest turbo specialist who advised me to remain under 2.5k revs to get the car to them. while I was there they removed the main air hose from the box leading to the turbo, at the turbo end to reveal a black smoke, coming out in an erratic manner, this they said was not right and was down to a badly coked/choked/clogged engine which had caused a shaft in the turbo to snap. Hence I now find myself in the predicament where they have the broken turbo out, and one on order. while this is happening they are flushing the C**P out of the engine and replacing all filters and new oil etc.. At this point I must also add that I recently (6 months ago) used around £65 of BIO diesel in the car, which in turn lead to my injectors requiring removal and refurbishment. Oh, and dont get me started about the dual mass fly wheel!! Its certainly been an interesting, and expensive year of motoring in my Nissan Patrol 3.0td GRSVE!!

I would also add, that when a neighbour had a bit of a look before I limed over to the turbo chaps, the main hose to/from the turbo and air box was very slack. we were able to pull it off without loosening the jubilee clip holding it on. The noise is, they say the shaft broken....
