Following advice from doc's receptionist ran an 'orspicle to try and get an appt wiv a dermatologist. The local massive and brand new one said "not appts until next year" so I said "supposing it's skin cancer?" so she said "You need to get the doc to ring us directly."
So I rang back the doc's receptionist, who told me to ring another Derma in Castres. So I did, he was extremely business-like , looked as if given a chance could speak pretty good English and gave me an appt for tomorrow 09h15!

:vb-confused2:🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
 
You might recall I have had a few problems with me tratter recently. With a boost problem. Any road up, so far I have checked most of the hoses, changed the turbo, MAFT sensor, air intake temp sensor, and today the MAP sensor. All with no change to the boost issue. So this morning I limped it round to the local garage to let the mecha nick have a look at it. He has the same engine in his van so knows the lump well, that was a good start. Worked through with him what I had done and the fault codes which came up, and left it with him. Within half an hour he rang me back. He found a split in a most inaccessible hose bend under the throttle body, which my brief inspection failed to identify. He can get the part tomorrow (from the main stealer, seems to be an odd / upgrade part and not the same as the original) - so should have me tratter back in a couple of days. Every day is a skool day.

As it hurts a tiny bit if I push on it and it weeps a clear liquid I don't think it's that serious but I may as well. He might also be able to do summat about my folliculitis which the Brit doctors either can't treat or won't treat properly.

It is so frustrating when you know the treatment they should giving you but they simply won't do it.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Did I mention my mother was a dermatologist? Bin dead a fair few years now. Died at 59 from breast cancer.

Well, the turbo was past its best, and although I am no expert, the play in the turbine did seem excessive to me and might have failed sooner rather than later. And could have resulted in an engine runaway. That's my story and I'm sticking to it :p
