Excited as car was ready so went to collect it and it started to whistle left side as he started it iin the workshop,he thinks it’s the manifold inlet gasket or is he hoping do you think it’s more like a fault on the turbo? Any thoughts chaps  _____________________________________________________

Update maybe right side head gasket leaking between a port as the pulse on the on the front pipe breather is weak where the left is strong took a video of engine minus right turbo and egrs , pretty sad another two weeks to use a Picasso.

Ouch !

Engine out for the head gasket - I was quoted 22 hours labour on my old 3.6 TDV8

So I did the sensible thing & bought an L405 SDV8 & sent the L322 off to the auction....

labours only £35 phr and already in this month for turbos and valves at 2k so another £1500, i still cant get the 5-0sc with right colour/spec less than 60k and that's a 13 plate, tbh i cant justify mortgage payments for a car and lose money when i would rather buy another house and rent it out at the minute. I will get one eventually in a few years if it goes to plan  _____________________________________________________

so you keep paying the garage to mis-diagnose and repair your FF ?

Mis diagnosed? Turbo went and actuator and left turbo followed changed valves as precaution and then made a pop now engine out the gaskets gone between 3 and 4 port I’ve seen today so where’s mis diagnosis please tell, a bit unlucky for gasket to go but then these can be it’s the par unfortunately, could be worse at least a stealer isn’t lining his pockets  _____________________________________________________
