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 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....
