If ye need any help I’d love to help replace the turbo.. Not too much knowledge about these things but definitely big interest in cars.

Dan, ’tis neither of those things.

Hello, KW. Not a Citroen CX either, but a proper vehicle.

If the turbo died either while you were in the middle of a very important journey, or while it was sitting on the drive without the ignition even being mentioned, I should imagine it is a Citroen CX. Which is largely because I am biased. However, good luck with the replacing thereof, and hello!

Was it a Norwegian Blue? There again Saab’s are Swedish, so was it a Kewet Buddy electric car?

Positive news. Found a cheap used turbocharger. Fingers crossed.

Shuffled off its mortal coil ;-) Or maybe just pining?

It’s a 1.8L Ford Cortina (red) with a rolled up newspaper holding the butterfly valve open isn’t it?

Dan: This is an ex-turbo. This turbo is deceased.

I knew a bloke in Carla(ow) who rebuilt the turbo in an Saab he had. That was 19 years ago mind.
