Right it's been sent off now and a recon unit is on it's way back to me. Of to the stealer tomorrow to get some new gaskets and bolts before I put it all back together again.

Yeah guess so. Not a great time of year to be spending heaps of cash though. A little birdie told me you might do tyres Wil2813? Is this correct?

I have found a company that sells the turbo core. has anyone ever replaced one themselves? The videos on youtube seem pretty straight forward. Its a big saving as the core is only £175 instead of a repaired unit at £325-£390

Finally got the Turbo out yesterday. Rave said to remove it from the bottom but there was no space to take it past the sub frame so I removed the drivers side headlight and slipped it out past the Aircon pipes. The spindle through the middle is still in tacked but plenty of play from side...

Found a turbo place in Essex today so once the turbo is off in the morning ill pop it over to them. It's going to be repaired hopefully which starts at about £200 and can be anything up to £325 (+vat unless cash) for a full service and repair which basically replaces all parts and sand blasts...

Or a CO2 one as it displaces the oxygen and the combustion process would then not be possible. You wouldn't have to clear out all the powder then.

It's an Auto! I guess I could fit it and once it's back up and running I can drop it to a local garage for tuning.

Ha ha yeah I have seen that happen.

Thanks for the advice. There's some good tips there. Some of the YouTube videos are great. Luckily mine wasn't as epic as those. Just googled and found a few different companies so I'll call around tomorrow for prices. Does the actuator need setting up on the TD6 engine? The recovery guy...

Yeah that's not a bad shout. I need to do the viscous fan as well. Are there firms that recondition turbos? I'm guessing it's not as simple as just buying a new one and bolting it on.

Afternoon All, I've just had to have the range brought home on the back of a flat bed truck.:mad: I'm thinking its the turbo that's died. I pulled away at a round about and the turbo squealed like a pig and the power dropped. I eased off and then back on again and at that point my car...

That's a good point. It prob does go to sleep eventually but if you have to open a door for anything it will just wake up for another 20 mins. Could connect a jump pack while working on it or if you don't need power take the neg terminal off.

Well the new battery has been on the car since Monday and so far so good it's not dead. I still have the hvac disconnected via the fuse so I'll reconnect that today and see what happens. Fingers crossed it was just a knackered battery.

I'm getting 14 volts when it's running so the alternator is charging the battery but how do I check to see if it's going the other way? I've just spent 130 quid on a new battery due to the nice man giving me a hefty discount. I'm going to take my old battery into him and get it checked. I've...

Well bloody car is now dead as a fox that's been smashed in by a range rover!!! Been outside with it running for agessssss and left the air conditioner fuse out as that seemed to be the only thing that was drawing quite a bit of power. Locked the car with the key fob came inside for a cup of...

Is there a fuse for the ignition switch? I've checked the fuse for headlight cleaning that's reading 0.00 and windscreen wiper system also reading 0.00.

Saint thanks so much for the lesson there that's an amazing response. I'm currently sat in the car with a fuse testing things and I'm currently logged in to fuse 12 for the Air Conditioner, front seat heating. When I took the fuse out the fan in the HVAC stopped so I plugged in my gadget and...

Afternoon peeps, I'm having a little trouble with severe battery drain at the minute and when I plug into allcomms I'm getting a CAN bus Fault appearing in the Air Suspension unit. Does anyone know what this means and if there's a cure? I'm thinking that it's possibly connected to my...

Have you had any luck finding the cause of your battery drain yet? I'm currently looking into the cause of mine. I have unplugged all of the above and I'm still getting a flat battery! I'm just waiting for a fuse amp tester thing but as you say that may not work due to the Ecu's waking up!

Yeah done that I have no leaks. It only occurs if the car has to rise and fall a few times like using access mode or short runs on dual carriage ways then a slower road then another dual carriage way. I'm getting a good supply from the pump with no leaks just a valve getting stuck open and then...
