Wrong end of M4 fo me, though I may be in Heathrow doing some work tomorrow lunchtime ish, but I can't guarantee I'll have time as I'll be with my non-motoring ethusiast colleuge's.  Can you do a vid on your phone and post it here?

yeah i got a day off tomorrow so may be able to meet u.. but will try and do a video tomorrow during day light to show the engine and the noise... and take it fromt here... but from speaking to various people thinks its the charger... best to go down the turbo route now instead of another lader??

depends, sometimes you can pick up a charger for £100-150 but then it'll need a service. Or perhaps £350-600 for a serviced one.

It may not be dead tho - get the damage looked at if needs be before condemning it.  It you have some circlip pliers, side cutting pliers and some allen keys then i could talk you over dismantling it over the phone - after you've got it off the car. Either that or ship it to one of us (or g-werks) to inspect it.

i think there is a FAQ about how to remove it (though will be based ona mk3 - so you might have to remove a bit more on a mk5 like slam panel etc)

[hayesey]

think it's in the FAQ section.
