So, yesterday morning the last job remaining get's done. This was the freeing off of lazy calipers due to no use for three years and new pads. I took it for a test drive and the brakes were transformed. BUT, I'm 2 miles from home and lose all power. I pull the auto box into 2nd and press the pedal and after a 5 second pause I start moving again, but the same thing happens 3x before I get home. So, having had this issue on three previous 'parked up/no use' 80's I am convinced it's the turbo.
I'm now in a panic. Ferry booked from Portsmouth to Bilbao and ferry booked from Malaga to Melilla!
I have just ordered a really crap Chinese turbo for £100 off eBay with a theoretical 3 year guarantee as a last ditch back up (I called Toyota and the genuine part is £3.4K with VAT !!!!). I also know that I can send off the current unit to be re-built by theturbocentre who use proper parts.
So, has anyone out there got a CT26 that is not cheep Chinese/works/etc , that they are prepared to sell? Or please give me any other advice.
Cheers
Nick
