had the clutch done but now the turbo don't work and my leg is getting very hot on long distance from the gearbox i thought would the hot air from the turbo be going down the side of the gearbox from a leaking pipe or is the turbo dead...cheers

you want to try to fix or change your immobiliser mate. but be careful because you can render your veihicle useless so if you are to look at this option take it to a specialist and have your alarm changed. Alternatively take off your live connection on the battery and spark the neutral with something metal five times with five seconds en between each spark. This can sometimes reset your alarm. Hope this helps
