After a bit of spirited driving my MCS 2007 suddenly lost power. still drivable but every time I tried to accelerate i got a fairly high pitched whine. still able to accelerate but a higher pitch the more you accelerated. Any ideas?

Thanks

Boost leak?

Would that give the high pitched whine? Is it ok to drive a short distance

A boost leak won't cause any major damage. TBH if all fluids are at the correct level I'd drive it a short distance

A whining usually indicates a cream crackered turbo pal [emoji51]

Just got my R56 back from Douglas and the guys at B&M centre. Fitted a JCW turbo and various bits and pieces. Superb work. Many thanks guys.
