RS Turbo seals gone

[Grilled]

Well the turbo seals have gone on my t3 garrett providing me witha lovely smokey exhaust so i can't pass my MOT. Wondering is it'd be easier to buy a new turbo for "???" pounds or get a kit for about £30 and try and rebuild it myself.. or if that's out of an amatuer's reach?

On a quickie my back numberplate light has gone and it's not the bulb or the fuse seeing as i've checked and changed both, any insight on either of these would be great cheers :).

as for the numberplate light check the wireing at the rear tail hinge.

I wouldn't risk rebuilding it yourself as you could do more harm than good. A rebuilt turbo from a reputable reconditioner is cheaper than a rebuilt top-end plus the recon turbo that you should have bought in the first place.
