No problem glad to share. I can tell you of another “ gear box gubbed mate” that wasn’t. Lack of power wouldn’t go over 30mph but revved well and could select gears, used same fix as we used on Audis, blanked EGR with £20 blanking pipe, 10 minute fix and away she went good as new

Original harness looked OK, however on testing with the bulb method after removing it, there was very obviously something intermittently wrong with the harness circuitry, decided to take one out of another vehicle and test, all was well, so had one delivered from GoS in two days. I could write a...

Problem solved by replacing transmission harness, cost £14 from GoS Axminster.

Range rover l322 TD6 100,000 miles, throws transfail safe when driven in auto, live reading shows gear solenoid 2 always on, when driven in manual behaves perfectly and throws no fault. Mackies replaced gearbox about 10,000 miles ago, everyone is stumped, though I am personally leaning to an...

Yes of course, best test turbo under load I always think.

healthy turbo should be 735/750rpm at idle, if you have a live reader you can monitor it on road to check operation, obviously you can check the other relevant readings or all readings live on road.

Spoke to auld farmer, convinced all symptoms of an air problem

What are the readings from the diagnostics, re turbo rpm and fuel pressure..anything else irregular ?

What does it idle at, and does it idle at normal rpm, have they taken a live reading from the turbo at idle ? can it be heard spooling when revs applied ?

Yes, as I said, under load...which would indicate a possible air starvation problem...or...is it stalling with the egr removed also ?

yes you said, so ehy is there no egr on, if it’s ok, why id it off, is it still stalling with no egr on ?

she stalls in the repair shop ?, would be totally amazed if any egr that age was clean

When you put load on she stalls, disconnect hose going into egr, the big hose, see what happens, you have checked egr is not stuck or manky ?

Picture of EGR delete for TD6 mechanical replacement.

Had the same problem on a 2005 vogue TD6 plus no power under load, everybody and their granny diagnosed it, gearbox/turbo/new engine... scrap it the usual give us your money stuff. Auld farmer two farms up, had a look sat in revved it a bit, drove it 20 yards, turned her off, got out, be back...

You will get an excellent well manufactured box for around £140, I always use Blue Spark never had a problem so far,seems crazy to leave all that dormant power doing nothing . http://bluesparkautomotive.com/ Meant to add speaking to the guy at Bluespark he reckons he can fit a box in 3...

From experience it is the underpowered TD6 that gives gearbox problems by making the box work harder than it needs to, hunting for a gear is the giveaway, the latest tuning box has been doing its think for 30,000 mls plus not a murmur not a missed beat, maybe I am just lucky....and the roar when...

Absolutely no problem whatsoever in any mode of drive, no complaints no problems from anyone.

Are we agreed or not that the L322 td6 with Beamer engine was undertuned by around 30% on leaving the factory gates. Have fitted a few tuning boxes to L322s, around 16% increase in horsepower and excellent torque gains with some improvement in fuel economy. I always fit boxes that come with the...
