That's what I figured.  So I have:

   a) Leaking front crank seal.

   b) Mysterious 'air loss' stutter under boost.

   c) Squirreling sound under engine braking.

   d) Clunky-clunky with fierce low gear acceleration.

   e) Front left wheel mis-aligned (you should see the tyre).

   f) Throw-out bearing on the point of failure.

   g) Various electrical gremlins.

Time for the bus to go up on blocks, I think.

Needs a wash, too.
