Well I took a deep breath and decided to attack this job (its now my car as the customer decided to scrap it due to estimated repair cost).
Its been waiting for the Summer 'lull' that seems to get longer each year.
Working without pressure I reckon it took about 6 hrs just to remove both turbo's.A lot longer to remove additional items and assessment i.e cat and downpipes, sump, oil strainer, rocker cover.
So far 2 dead turbos ('black death' oil abuse) possible cat damage and I still havent assessed the amount of oil in the intercooler and exhaust.
Obviously not worth doing as a customer car but I'm tempted to go ahead and repair it using secondhand turbo's.I'm going to try 'washing' the cat out with petrol - what do you think?
Has anyone tried rebuilding thier own turbo using the £150 new 'cartridges' they sell on Ebay?

Colin.
