Another day in, on, under, over the tratter engine bay. Took about 5 hours to coax a tiny 8mm bolt from behind the turbo oil drain pipe, 2 hours of which was taking the alternator off to get better access. And discovered a worn out idler pulley in the aux belt circuit in the process. Finally managed to get the pesky bolt out (I will invent a better one for re-fitting). And ----- :vb-party2::vb-bouncy::vb-banana: ---- got the turbo off. Never played with a turbo before, but as there is play in the turbine shaft and the blades can touch the sides of the housing, I have declared it cattle trucked. Which would explain the screaming noise coming from the engine bay a couple of weeks ago, and the tratter kangarooing along the street last Sunday. (I had first thought the noise was a dead aircon pump, but it seems ok). So parts numbers and shopping list to prepare, and blow the cobwebs off me plastic squander card - its gonna suffer this weekend.

That's always the case the repair is the easy bit its just getting to it but well done 🙈🙉🙊
 
Mine's a Defender Puma. With aircon, which adds much difficulty when trying to do any work under the bonnet. And the engine cooling / cab heating pipework would give a plumber nightmares. So the journey to the turbo is a long one.
Fur enuff!
anayway, good on yer sport fer fixing it, or at least gettin it off!;):)
 
Painting pallets ? 😲🙏
Must admit that was a bit my reaction.

Then I thought of all the ones I have got on the shed floor over ere which I have had to put down as water seeps throught the concrete as perchance we have a spring under it!

Now I'm thinking it might be an idea to take mine up, (Whata flipping pain) and paint them all with summat to stop em rotting!

God some of you guys really do give me homework to do!!!
:(:(

Can you not just "recore" or whatever the technical term is for replacing the centre turny bits of the turbo? seems others do it.
Unless it did shedloads of damage to the rest of it of course.
