Thanks for your replies.
It turned out,it was the turbo had totally blown.LOTS of play.
The engine was on it,s way out anyway,so needed a replacement.
I,ll pass it on about the inter cooler,but i don,t think it has one??It,s a low pressure turbo.
Thanks,Karl.

I did tell him to get an Audi or VW,but he saw it while he was working away.Little old dear was selling it cheap and he was desperate for a car(Does alot of mileage,back and forth from work to see kids each weekend).Bet the little old dear,knew it was on the way out.
