Sell it. Now.

Look at simple1's thread http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic29765.html regarding the fallout from a turbo failure... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Not really. Body can be off in 2 hours... Also gives you the chance to replace the front and front-rear brake pipes at the same time. And if it does need any rear suspension bushes, it gives great access to replace them without stuggling with tight access or seized bolts

Body off in 2, providing there are no seized bolts to deal with. Each turbo is a couple of hours (ish), and allow 4 hours to refit body, bleed brakes, double check the work done and a road test

Hi RRgirl, as Mike said, it's better to do it body off and it will allow access to check a whole bunch of other things. --
