seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!
right took it out to get some fuel today first drive in over a week. alot smoother on take off but not perfect need to check the actuation of the neutral switch and the timing. idle is far far better. smoke is still present however it now smokes far less. i only get smoke on boost intermittently, and on intial pull away after prolonged idle. im gonna take it for a proper drive this evening after dinner get it warm and burn the accumilated crap out the system see if that futher improves the issue. :D fingers crossed but im still fairly convinced that the turbo rear oil seals are on the way out.

Nice find
oh yeah looks like your car was previously red, jokes nasty find. but at least your fixing it. bit of patience its not a massive job really is it. im dreading the day i have to do mine they seem fine atm but who knows whats going on behind the outer sill. my capri did the same by the time id finished cutting out the rot there wasnt much left of the sill.

Don`t you just hate it when you wash your car....
that is bloody annoying and then the polish goes all smeary i have the same issue with the rear window get little puddles on the corner. :/ i hate it when ive just done my manual conversion and the car starts smoking from an unknown source out the exhaust and puts you off driving it. i also hate it when the red light light comes on saying feed me more petrol.

central locking
this is very common, the key will eventually spin round and round and round. getting hold of the part for the drivers side can be a dick. but you can modify a passenger side version to make use of it and replace it. im sure jeff did a little thread on this.

how to test if turbos are working
they should be pushing out the stock boost value, the stock gauge is pretty inaccurate. and you shouldnt have any smoke. if theyre not smoking and your getting the full boost pressure then they are probally alright.
