I can only think its to get the turbo off, but that can be done by removing just a driveshaft.

I think it was just so access was better? Both drive shafts are in and he has just taken the cradle and rack out.

I only check oil when the light comes on I've not used the car for about 3 weeks so It just went out of my head.

I don't know if anyone knows Steve Tate from SAC in Kippax(it used to be behind the petrol station in Swillington)but he is excellent when it comes to stuff like this so rather than natter at him Ill leave him to it and give him my bank card when its done. Trust in a mechanic is an hard thing to do but trust Steve with my car whole heartedly .

Ill let you all know what happens in the next few days.

Ill ask about the emulators PDT and see what he says? 

Cheers

Darren

Yeah I know Steve, He is a good egg, did a stirling job of a rebuild on my mates Cosworth many moons ago and fitted a T35 Rally Spec Turbo to my Cosworth. This was while he was at the Swillington Garage. Haven't seen him for ages, prob since going into newer VAG's which have been in warrenty.

I'll have to call up for a natter with him.

Hope all is well after the work is done for you mate.

Cheers mate I hope so too.  The garage at swilly burnt down apparently something to do with a boiler next door, took a brand new Porsche turbo and a couple of cossie's and scoobies :sad1:

He's still doing the cossies but more into the general stuff now.
