I missed it too. Was that the one with loads of modifications like a turbo, not quite original (!) but the daughter wanted it restored exactly as her mother had it?

Didn't they send it off to be reconditioned or something then ended up not doing it and fitting the turbo with slightly dodgy oil seals back on the engine?

Run away diesels are fun to watch...
