I thought the same, and I’d asked them to put it all back together. They’ve told me I shouldn’t drive it.
Having thought about it this evening I’m now worried it’s pouring oil out while ... |

| Apparently the amount of oil in the intercooler wasn't normal, so that's why they thought the turbos have gone. It wasn't using any oil (since the oil cooler was changed...) and I don't have any smoke ... |

I’m not quite sure how they’ve come to the conclusion that one of the turbos has failed. I need to speak to them on Monday morning.
I’d have expected very different symptoms if a turbo had g ... |

The car finally appeared at the local specialist today. A full month after I last saw it. Miraculously it’s undamaged and all my stuff was still in the boot.
Unfortunately that’s the last of t ... |

| It’s being delivered to my usual local specialist, but I’ve asked them to go over it carefully. I’m afraid it’s going to have a bunch of cosmetic damage and end up being a write off. |

An update on the problem?!
Well, no.
I still don't have the car back. I still don't know where it is.
The last update I had, which I had to chase for, was on the 6th March - 8 working days a ... |

Thanks Robert. I left it at a recovery company’s depot (who were very good!) 8 days ago, but apparently it’s been moved on from there - but nobody can tell me where it’s been taken!
My prefer ... |

Well I wish I could tell you all what the problem was in the end, but I am still none the wiser.
And to top things off the breakdown co. don't actually know where my car is now either. So it's all ... |

Still no update I’m afraid. I’ve no idea what’s going on with the car, all very frustrating.
It was more than a few drips. Given the location and the symptoms (won’t change gear) I’m gue ... |

It’s a MY16 4.4. We’re motoring along quite happily with cruise on. Nothing unusual, no sudden changes in speed or revs.
I hear what sounds like a pop noise, I can’t say where from, then alm ... |
