hi all just update purchased 07 2.5t saturday dealer done cambelt for me as wasnt done just had new clutch drove home on motorway very impressed by how it goes as my test drive was in town

traffic amazing traded in 19yr old focus yet tax is about 20pence month more than focus and got insurance for £360 my focus cost me £370

cant fathom how the insurance system works but very happy with purchase never had car fitted with turbo before am i correct that before turning car off after run its good to idle for couple minutes to let turbo cool down ?any advise on this would be appreciated thanks

Never done that. I thought you just had to make sure engine was at idle speed when turning key off. So that oil pressure doesn’t suddenly drop when turbo spinning at higher speed.

Excellent, those 2.5t I would have thought are quite rare, but what potential you've got to make a right sleeper car.
