Thanks for all your comments.
To try and address some of your points :
The £4K+ quote was indeed £3600 + VAT incl 2 x new turbos.

I do not have a pit or a 4 post lift, otherwise I may be tempted myself.
Unfortunately it is not only my direct experien ... |

I needed (need !) a comfortable towing car for use on longer drives (200+mls) not for daily about town driving, and it was GREAT !
Been struggling to find something to give the same t ... |

Thanks Mikey, that’s what I wanted to know.
The purpose of this thread and the reason I started a separate one is that I want to understand the reasoning and mechanics behind the issue rather tha ... |

The purpose of this exercise is I’m trying to understand the conditions that caused a critical drop in power while motoring at speed, reducing revs to 500rpm but without stalling the motor. Then c ... |

1) The throttle (higher/lower rpm) is dictated NOT by a throttle body or carburettor that adjusts the flow of air to the cylinders, but by the accelerator pedal requesting the ECU provide more fue ... |

I am trying to find understand the basic workings of a modern Diesel engine.
Specifically the 3.6 TDV8 - if that makes any difference.

Looking for clarity as I’m (easily !) confused.
Earlier in this string it’ll be seen that my L322 refused to start until the ‘top turbo’ pipes were removed.

I’ve done all my own motorcycle maintenance to compl ... |
