2007 3.6 tdv8 sport boost pipe at n/s turbo failing. Local dealer says body needs to come off to replace a pipe less than £50. Can it be done without body off if so best way round to doing it please. This is my first Landy so would appreciate help. I am mechanically minded. Thanks in advance.

I know its suppose to be body off to change the turbos ,but know about just the pipes sounds like they dont want the job a lot of dealers wont touch motor over 4 years old, but it must be possible without body off.

best to ask in the range rover section of the forum

It can be done without removing the body

Have you done this or similar, if so is it through wheel arch?

I haven’t I have no mechanical knowledge at all but a good mate of mine owns a landrover specialist and he very rarely takes the body’s off as he says nearly all jobs can be done with out

This whole body of routine is mostly internet twaddle. Almost everything can be done on these vehicles with the body in place. Yes some jobs are easier with the body removed, but if removing the body isn't possible, then another way can be found. I've even removed the TDV6 engine from a D3 while keeping the body on the chassis.
