As an extra income i do some work with a mechanic friend and today i had the joy of removing a damaged turbo from a M12 Noble, it was whislting on boost and no go in her, do a boost leak check and that was fine so we removed the pipes to check the vanes and found over 15mm of lateral play on the turbo shaft :eek::eek:, so turbo removed and it has been sent of to universal turbos who make all the turbos for Noble as no where else would touch it :thumbdwn: can see it being expensive when we get the bill next week

thought i would share some pics!!!

nice engines to work on, not the best for getting out but nice and easy when they are out,

Looks like a nice little project

keeps me busy and out of the way of the good lady, if only i could do it full time i would love it, but need a salary to cover bills etc or do i take the plunge and try to use my sales skills and push business to make it work :confused:

It's a lovely car, but I still can't help but dislike the rear lights pinched from an early mondeo saloon. :(

You can't see them from the driving seat, Rob

True, and most people wouldn't see them for long either.

i'd love one. one day i will own one

Very nice bit of kit

You can get a Noble M12 GT03 3.0 V6 for under 20K now :drool:

turbo looks easier to remove than on a pd130.
