    we had a list like that pointing in all sorts of directions.

    cheap shit aftermarket cat was causing all sorts of backpressure issues. it had prettu much colapsed internally sending sensors all over car haywire.

    doesnt account for all your list but a large number of them were the same as we have.

    0073 Outside air temp high

    That’s probably not a real issue…

    The turbo fault sounds like a nice to have rather than a real issue. The oil seals will be worn and some oil with be combusted. Were the emissions OK when last tested?

    This will be the same engine as the Vectra and Renault Espace. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a replacement turbo. A straight swap will be a piece of cake provided access is OK.

    They ended up replaceing the intercooler!

    Fire the parts cannon!

    As long as it doesn’t trip the limp home mode I’d agree…

    Thing is, when you reset the codes and take it out of limp home mode it drives great, for all of about 2 miles…

    Sounds like a PITA. Hope it gets sorted. I avoided the 3.0 and 2.0 petrol due to various issues 🙁
