Hi all.
Just rejoined so not posted for a long time. Took our Swift 622 2011 reg with 18200 miles on clock with Transit 2.2 engine. Took van for MOT today at a garage we have used for at 10 years and told van passed test fine. Started all good and drove slowly away as only few yards from main road. Pulled into road and a high pitched howl came from engine but had to keep going and noise just the same in 2nd so stopped turned round back to garage. Explained fault so it got put onto hoist. I had by now told wife Ann turbo has blown possible a vein on turbine broke. Fifteen minutes later MOT tester states turbo blown stating it was ok on test as passed emissions test. So as far as he is concerned not his fault or garage. I asked who pays for this, and told I do but the manager might help. He will ring tomorrow when they get their stories the same. They do know I am not stupid and used to build cars and rebuild engines and still do with the son. I can't find which turbo fits this van as it could be one of 3 main makes so need make and number. Van can't be driven and is 20 miles away. Dont know how I stand ,but looks like I'm on a looser. Advice could help.
