Yup, had similar problem when first had my diesel car. Just driving down road, and all of a sudden, power went. On dash, the little yellow glow plugs was lit up. Drove home slowly, but managed to get there.

Phoned the garage up, and they told me to book it in straight away. Tried it next morning to go to garage, and started fine and all ok. Got to garage, and get a phone call telling me that it's the turbo that's gone, and will cost 1000 quid to sort.

Had a look on internet, and found loads of ppl who had same problem. And, was same thing as u said ... couple times a month, just thrash it! To this day, still using the same turbo that had "broken" (touch wood), and all still fine.

Best way I found to do it, find a steepish hill (go up and down one everyday on way to work), and rape the hell out of the car. Go up it with foot to floor and get to 60mph in 3rd gear ... just pain when u get people driving at30mph up the hill! Hehe
