The turbo in my newly acquired Turbo diesel seems dead; max speed 120 kph, and often a runaway engine on start-up running on engine oil; probably leaking from the turbo.
I have gotten at KKK to replace the Garret in the car, but how do I get to it? Can it be done in-situ or is the quickest to take the engine out? Any hands-on experience appreciated.

Haynes alledges that it is possible, but on a car that is now 16 years old I very much doubt it! The fixings have such limited access on the BX, and are likely to resist attempts to undo them it will be difficult, if not impossible.
Pull the engine out, replace the turbo, replace the cambelt, change those awkward heater hoses down the back of the block, replace the clutch, replace the octopus. Consider taking the head off and replacing the head gasket. All of these jobs will be much much easier with the engine out, and should give the BX a good bit more life yet!
