Troubling turbocharger

The turbo on my Astra van 2002 diesel has gone. Do I need exact part number as I have been told there is only one turbo for this model? Trying to access second hand.

First question would be is are you absolutely sure the turbo has gone? What is wrong with it?

As for replacement, we do not have that level of information. However would suggest that you check out "www.arturbo.co.uk"; and also "www.btnturbo.com";, which should be able to help with either diagnoses and repair/replacement.

My car has just gone and found out on here, probably bearings gone in turbo. Is there a cheaper fix for this problem?
I changed the oil and filter on my 2012 Ford Fiesta. Now the engine fault light is on and the turbo isn't working.
My Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi runs fine for 35 - 40 miles, then cuts out as if the ignition was turned off. When I stop and turn off the ignition and then restart it then it runs fine. This is a repeating problem....
