And finally issue 2
Booked the car in also for strange noises from the engine bay...I've reported it several times but never replicated on-site.
This time, we went for a test drive and while it was evident, not clear until a cold start where it was much more obvious.
My noise explanation was more groaning (more gearbox type groan when the gear is too high for the speed) which I think is still present however another noise that they heard was down to the dampener seal between the turbo and the pipe attaching to it.
This seal was split and had to be replaced.
It does seem to have made a difference to a noise I did not realise until it was gone so happy days there.
May rebook for the other groaning noise especially as i've had the gearbox already replaced once under warranty when it was only 20,000 miles old.
So if you have a noise coming through more drivers side, check the seal :- )
