I haven't seen the car in the flesh yet -- might be in a really bad state. We'll see at the weekend

why would it need a new turbo specifically at 70k it's not like the Gladder S/C you find on the G40 and G60 VW's that were shit. a turbo will last a long time do long as it is not abused

Its only a small low pressure turbo I doubt very much it will need changing at 70k

My GT was on original turbo and had done 100K and that runs 15PSi rising to 19PSi on overboost.

I have done mate, but no interest so far

I think your best bet is to stick it in AutoTrader for next week.... will be pay day at the end of the month and people might have finally saved enough moneys to buy a car...

I thought you were selling your Corsa due to not being able to drive it in london and paying heavy insurance... Now you want to get a 888?

The 888 would have been half the amount to insure than the Corsa

Selling the Corsa because I want a bigger car...
