Hello Everyone,
Thanks to you all for contributing to this thread. I have started a new one but first timers can look at the "Freelander Loss of Power" thread.
Garage fitted another turbo yesterday with no change. They have found that the engine is "breathing" and that when you run the engine there is a lot of pressure when you take the oil filler cap off and if you take the dipstick out it positively pumps out oil.
They are not sure what is exactly wrong but reckon crankcase seal/compression seals etc have gone. This has caused oil to be forced into the air lines so things like the intercooler etc are oiled up and hence the presence of smoke in the exhaust.
They reckon an engine build is out of the question and the only realistic thing is a new engine.
They are looking into this and told me to speak to LR Customer Care to see what they can do.
The car is 2002 TD4 with 76K miles and fully serviced etc.
Anyone any ideas and how much a new engine will cost? Can you get a reconditioned TD4 these days.
Advice gratefully received.
