  home mode' as there was no power or any turbo boost. After drying out the air filter I started the car the next morning to find it very lumpy with more blue smoke.

  it isn't just the head of the screw that is missing, the rest still in situ :-( The second fan appears to be working properly so the temp is kept to reasonable levels at the moment, but with the air-con on and working the engine hard, the temp does rise quite rapidly (but still won't hit 90 in normal

A trim £20,935 gets you into 2.2-litre TD4 with alloys, sporty six-speed transmission, halogen headlamps, heated exterior mirrors, air conditioning and six-speaker CD player.
