Open the oil filler tube and check it's not full of this grey/white/watery shit like mine was, was only condensation build up because the intake pipe to the turbo had split, but still. Make sure you start it cold and don't touch the throttle, if there's smoke and it sounds like it's struggling a little, and when you press the throttle a little and the idle changes and it sounds different, it's possible that was oil sat on the pistons from a soon to die turbo, it's hard to explain that one but someone may have a video they could link? If the clutch is slipping and the engine does run away, goodbye engine
Yeah he says the clutch only slips when you try push it. Mine was like that it's fine for everyday driving but when you put more power on it slips a bit
