Hi everyone, first poster here and hope to contribute more.
I need advice please. I noticed a loss in power recently on a motorway drive home along with a strange "whirring" sound coming from the bulkhead behind the centre console under acceleration.
Local garage has test driven it and had it on the ramp. Its been diagnosed with a leak in the cross pipe that links the turbo to the EGR. It will need replacing and by all accounts its a very difficult part to get to. 2 ways. One to remove the gearbox and the other to lift the body off the chassis. Both extremely expensive with the part also costing an arm and a leg.
Its a 2007 disco 3( 118K miles) and I'm having to consider the cost implications versus scrapping the car for parts.
Is there any way to get to this pipe without the costly measures stated above? Apart from this problem the Disco is great and ran brilliantly so I don't want to have to scrap it.
What would I expect to get for it without the work done ?
All advice very much appreciated.
