just gonna keep it simple guys. if its just the tubby that went then ill just replce that with a second hand one now till i can afford a half decent one!!!
ok guys here was the syptoms, maybe its happened to someone else!!
On start-up, there is no knocking, at first there was only alittle knocking when u hit bout 1.5k revs but if you put ur foot down abit it went away
then started to get louder and and all the time, but thing is, it was knocking on acceleration but if you take your foot off the gas or stick it into neutral when your rolling it went away and just sounded like normal!!
At first i thought it could be the gearbox, but the RAC bloke said that it smelt like the turbo has blown to bits as he has worked with a few that have blown their tubbies and this one smelt the same but he said not to take his work for it!!!
when the bits fell from underneath the car, they definatly wernt bug bits, so that tells me it could be the propeler in the turbo, but is there anywhere it can get out?? there is also oil all over the subframe around the turbo
if anyone could make sugestions on this that would be great
will try and get some pics up for ya later,
but i tell you something, when neil took me out in it, and put it to 1.2bar it bout snapped me fookin neck off, i exspected it to be quick but wasnt exspecting that, lookin forward to havin it back
