 As it's a Turbo, more chances it's the turbo's that gone!  Sounds like the guy doesn't know what he's talking about it, (not uncommon on our cars!) Get it to someone who knows our cars for a proper diagnosis!  |

76k?
That's nowt for rings, unless it's been totally thrashed in all it's entire life. I'd still put my money on the HG or maybe the turbo.

This is beginning to sound much more like a reasonable proposition

Turbo almost certainly if it's blue smoke.

I would allow £1,000 to do properly! (Actually, I wouldn't, I'd buy a V6 instead!)  |

Both are a pile of rubbish imo, in comparison to a 75. And while 1k might be a reasonable figure if you have to go through a trader and pay proper prices, there might be much cheaper options. Especially if you buy off Ebay and do your own work. But then, I'd be out of my depth in answering accurately. Good luck
