Did she overheat? (I mean the car!) could be head gasket, cracked head or block, white smoke would indicate steam! Best of luck. |

What are you expecting the cost to be if it’s Turbo failure? visiting from www.rrsport.co.uk |

Probably not far off what the vehicle is worth.

Not body off on full fat rangies so at least that’s not a cost to worry about!

£3K is a good price - where was that and at what miles did they let go? |

If the rest of the car / engine is ok, you can get a re-furbished turbo for £300, may be worth thinking about |

I got it done at AJ Landrover specialists, they went at 155k one had seized solid, they sent me videos and did a full report, replaced with Borg Warner new units so I was pleased with the job They said it was caused by an incorrectly fitted oil filter, I saw in the video they sent that it hadn’t been seated correctly and the small locator bit wasn’t located and the filter had just been placed downt and the lid squeezed back on crushing the bottom of the filter
