.....and I ran the engine in the driveway to check there were no leaks from the turbo oil drain and there weren't. Happy Dennis. I get in and drive out up the street today and its very docile.....thinking its just the cold engine temp doing its thing through the ECU.....I kept going.....got out on the M1 and I'm embarrassing myself and other road users. Its just not going gutless as anything....thinking I've knocked a plug loose or something and I'd gone into limp mode ,I take the next exit and pull up, pop the bonnet and then it hit me. The oil pipe was fouling on the turbo compressor outlet hose when I was trying to remove itand I loosened it and rotated it out of the way. The turbo pressure just blew the hose away and it was just acting as a very efficient under bonnet leaf blower. Got a screwdriver and pushed the hose back on tightened the clamp. Time lost? 1min 37secs I think.....also found my 8mm extension driver while I was there.
As above...happy Dennis
