Hi All, had my Vogue TDV8 for a year and a half, and its been quite a thrill, however one day after work I started off from work and put my foot down to pull out into the traffic, I felt a slight judder, nothing major and all of a sudden my car started cutting out, and would not start again, anyway the car ended up in the garage and been told they think its my turbo that has gone. I was also told that 2ltr of oil has disappeared from the engine, and gone somewhere, cannot remember where they said it has gone, but I have been quoted a lot of money to get it sorted, around 6 to 8k, and that's with a recon engine, although I have found two companies on EBay, NZ Engines and Global Engines, one will cost £3,095 the other 3,495, both fully fitted with 6 month warranty, however if I need turbos, they will cost me £850 each, and things like the alternator, start motor etc, will be taken from mine.
Just wondered if anyone knows anywhere else to go?
posted this in another area, and had some good advice (thanks Stuart), now been told that global engines are a con.
Seriously don't know which way to turn, don't fancy spending nearly 10K to repair a 58 plate with 120K miles.
Thanks for listening
