Seems my drivers side headlight on my 2004 2.0d s x type is literally falling apart so i need one asap, got one off good old eBay but it is worse than the one fitted so was refunded straight away

Ordered another one & an hour later got refunded, seller had checked it & found it to be broken :( 

So not only do i have two refund orders waiting to be actually put back onto my card but i still don't have a headlight

Any leads to a reputable seller as i am reluctant to use eBay again but can't afford a new unit at this time

Any help is most appreciated

Turned out to be the turbo intercooler pipe had split

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated

Back on the road :) 

Thanks David

I will get the black cover off in the morning & see if i can spot the issue, be nice if it is just a hose but we will see

Hi everyone

Had my 2004 x-type  a few months now & all was fine till i was driving the kids home today

Went to put my foot down on a dual carriageway to pass a slower car & i heard a pop from the engine bay, some power loss happened but i managed to get off it & nurse it the 1 mile home at very slow speed, when i come off the revs i can hear a distinct whirring noise like a turbo which was never present before, there is also a faint smell of rubber that i noticed, noise is from the nearside of the engine bay but everything is under the big cover so i can't see much

If anyone can offer any advice as to what it may be it would be greatly appreciated as i need to get the kids back to their mum's tomorrow evening & if it's not an easy fix i will have to arrange a hire car if possible

Have attached a video of the noise, hope it is clear enough
