308 - Scrap or keep
#9
Cheers Piggy.  Really kind offer.  Sadly only have on-road parking here.  (I rent a garage up the road).  I once worked under the car roadside but the number of d'heads who came past nearly clipping the wing mirror at considerably over the speed limit put an end to that.

Also, there is apparently swarf visible through the bell housing inspection hole so the end is near for the DMF.  I'd had suspicions it was on the way out but hadn't driven the car for many months.  I drove it to London last weekend.  I was like 'WTF' while the other half (with her lack of mechanical understanding) was convinced there wasn't a problem.  Dodgy  

We've decided to bite the bullet & get it sorted next week n then most likely chop the car in sometime in the new year before the turbo needs doing.  After an evening of research the Mrs has her eye on a new style Mazda 3.  Also they're just about the only relatively new petrol car that doesn't have the added complexity of a turbo.

If that plan changes I could maybe bring it up to you to have the turbo looked at?  I know you're not that far away.
