Trying to cure a misfire. New plugs fitted along with leads as old ones were found to be crushed / melted in parts. Still no joy so on to injectors next

It's secretly disguised as a Silver 2014 1.2 Vauxhall Agila... while my car is in Vauxhall for a new gearbox and wiper linkage :(

Mine has a boost pipe that likes to pop off occasionally. Annoyingly the last time it happend was on the M1!!
The standard rubber doesn't seem to like 18-20psi. Some new larger, silicone and alloy intercooler pipework is now on order (2.5" instead of 2").

1) Crank Pulley is squeaking. Getting it replaced next week.
2) Mysterious knock from front off side when lifting off throttle at low speeds. Possibly driveshaft or engine mount.
3) Off side driveshaft cv boot has a tiny nick in it and a small amount of cv grease has leaked out.
4) Passenger window regulator is failing. Have a s/h one ready to go on.

Burning oil somewhere.

Blue smoke when I start it and for a minute or so after when giving it a Rev. Fine after it's been driven for a minute or two.

Turbo seals ? Valve seals ? Anyone any ideas. Megane dci btw.

Immobiliser issues - turn the ignition on and the red immobiliser light flashes at me. Sit in the car for 5 mins turning the key until it decides not to flash and let's me start the bloody thing.

Clutch is on it's way out.

Knocking noise coming from rear brake whilst braking at low speeds.

Front caliper is binding slightly.

Rear wiper arm snapped off, rip in driver seat that's been there since I bought it, alternator whining, dephaser rattling, hasn't been cleaned since November, wheels need a refurb.

Luckily most of those things I can fix when I get off my arse. Have all the parts sat here waiting.

Squeaking sunroof and driver's door, no spare tyre (had to use it at work), needs 4 new tyres anyway, full of crap and needs a good clean inside and out. Oh and the sunroof leaks as well.
 
My indicators are working overtime when going right but when it's left they're blinking at normal speeds?! This a common problem?

Horrendous vibrating sound when accelerating.
Massive stone chip on bonnet.
Drivers seat will not move to let people out of the back.
