Wotcha and welcome - could you pull the compressor yourself and then send it to your trusted mechanic?

Wotcha and welcome - Fozzy with ground clearance issues - hefty chortle 😀

Wotcha and welcome - dont remember anything being posted wrt this before but given your situation I would do the same and keep an eye on tyre wear, tracking etc

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to get stuck in - all friendly on here 👍

Wotcha and welcome

Wotcha and welcome - looking forward to a project thread on this one - 22b very nice motor indeed

Wotcha and welcome - Could it be torsional twist you get with the AWD system plus big grippy tyres going over different surfaces? Mentions this in the user manual

Wotcha and welcome - not familiar with diesels Im afraid 🤔

Wotcha and welcome - love a hatch me

Wotcha and welcome - SL = performance and a little bit of luxury, very nice

Wotcha and welcome - plenty of ideas / food for thought in the projects section. As you have the engine covered next for me would be chassis mods, braided hoses, uprated ARB and shocks, possibly stiffer bushes throughout

Wotcha and welcome - I occasionally get a very loud alarm inside the car - tends to be at 5K revs approaching a 'sporty' set of bends with the missus riding shotgun 😆

Wotcha and welcome - is it an auto or manual? my 2.0r engine tranny dip is rear right hand side (near side) as you look facing the front of the motor. Could you post a couple of photos?

Wotcha and welcome 👍👍

Wotcha and welcome - I dont know how much the local anti cruise legislation discourages West Mids meets??

Sage advice - glad it has been resolved 👍

Wotcha and welcome!!

Excellent - keep us posted and have a camera handy 😀

Wotcha and welcome - yes you would need to take some measurements to be sure

Wotcha and welcome - feel free to get stuck in, share photos etc

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome - let us know if you made it home ok 👍

Wotcha and welcome - as above it may be an indication of something more serious, particularly if your engine has been put into limp mode - possibilities being knock detection, pressure drop, leakage?

Wotcha and welcome - TDR are a reputable place to get work done. The work you have asked them to do is time consuming - that is also assuming all of the nuts / bolts come away and don't need cutting off - I recently did ARB drop links on my car - each one took 3 hours!!! 2 hours 55 minutes of attacks with plus gas, blow torch, hacksaw and dremmel cutting & grinding discs (you couldn't get an angle grinder into the space). Are you replacing the bushes at the same time as these will need to be swapped from old to new as well - again assumption that the OEM ones are still fit for purpose and will fit the new items e.g. the ARB thickness, are you replacing like for like or are they thicker diameter?
