Driver side turbo (UK) is doable from Beneath the car although access is tight and they’re not for the faint hearted!

Thanks, this would be my first turbo on a TDV8, I have done a few on VW/Audi cars which although not always easy are simple in comparison to this. Time is on my side, so one to deliberate over for a while. |

It’s a horrible job, I’m handy with the spanners and used to be a LR/JAG tech and when my turbos went- i didn’t contemplate doing it myself for very long when I saw what was involved- engine out is really the best way as it is so tight as has been said 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

Drop the subframe off, then diff off. It's not an engine out job...

My local Indy quoted £1,000 to replace the O/S turbo. They said it was the actuator but I can’t find anyone who can advise if it’s possible to replace just that and not the entire turbo. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Unless the price of turbos have gone up recently, that's a little steep

That’s a lot! Aj Land Rover in Alton did both mine with brand new turbos for just over £3k a year or so back 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

If you have the time and doing them yourself you could chance the actuator if you can source one, but they’re not cheap!

There has never been a need to do idling before shut down on turbo's since the days a long time ago when they didn't have water cooling and were run on mineral multigrade oils. The main thing for turbo life is not to work them hard before the engine is up to operating temperature (oil not water) and change the oil regularly and use the recommended spec. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Thanks TDV8 Paul, I had not heard of AJ Land Rover Before. I have just had a look at their website, and obviously you were happy with their work - so I will give them a call. |

I got a quote from AJ land Rovers this morning - £5700, so both (Keith Gott) are similar. |

That’s interesting, price has changed a bit! Probably their reputation has grown as they looked fairly new looking at the workshop when mine was there. I thought they were good, kept me updated and sent me videos of my car and what they found. They also refuse to fit anything other than new stuff so that initially filled me with confidence 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography
