hi colin, im afraid it sounds as though it could be a worn turbo (take the small flexi inlet pipe off and check if there is much play in the turbine shaft), or possible worn valve seals or at worst worn cylinder bores/piston rings.
Also excessive turbo whistle could be an indication of a tired turbo.

First thing to check would be for any bearing play in the turbo, which should be easy enough to do and then go from there.
Where abouts in the country are you?

Before condemning the turbo, check that oil isn't being drawn into the intake through the crankcase breather system - there's a round 'thingy' with a rubber hose which pushes into the pipework near the air filter and this could be the source...

Hello Darren I have checked the turbo shaft and there does not seem to any movement but I did notice that there was some oil in the rubber banjo pipe on the air intake side would this be the problem like you said, and if so how would I get over this
Kind Regards Colin

Probably a blocked or faulty breather thingy on the side of the engine, or the round thingy that goes into the air intake is faulty. No idea how they come apart or how to diagnose/fix them though, sorry.
