    0w30 or 5w30 .. presuming £ is not an issue for the owner. The engine is a 1.9dci 130bhp 8v. I've heard of 0w30 being used for the first 50-70k miles then the switchover to 5w30? Why? I've also been told to stick with 0w30 too as its thinner and will get in the nooks n crannies quicker?

    Hello everyone. I have been getting the strangest possible problem in my old Laguna. The car starts normally, and boosts normally, then after a couple of minutes, it goes into limp-mode. Now, the interesting part is that i am getting no error codes neither in the dashboard, neither in OBD...

    Hey all, My turbo sounds like it's disintegrated (think loose change in a washing machine). I have found a few refurbished and less eye wateringly expensive replacement turbo options online - just wondering if anyone has managed to swap a turbo on one of these Trafics at home? Or is it garage...
