Hi,
I have a 2002 TD5 110 hardtop with turbo troubles ... wondered if anyone more mechanically minded than the dealership I purchased it from can help!
My troubles started about a month ago when I suffered a breakdown; a repetitive knocking noise from the engine quickly followed by huge amounts of white smoke from the exhaust and the engine free running at high rpm, even after the ignition was switched off. The landy was still under warranty from the seller, so the 110 was returned to them and a broken turbo was diagnosed and replaced.
After fitting the new turbo the mechanic took the 110 for a test drive and about 2 miles later suffered an identical breakdown. A faulty replacement turbo was suspected so they again replaced the turbo and after testing the 110 was returned to me. Within 200 miles I have now suffered another identical breakdown with suspected turbo failure again! ... the car goes back to be inspected by the turbo supplier on Monday.
There clearly is another problem causing the turbo failures, but the non land rover dealer I'm dealing with seem convinced it's just the turbo. I suspect there could be a problem with the engine management system and have requested they get it hooked up to a Testbook, but they don't seem interested .... could anyone offer any advice or information on the possible cause?
Best wishes,
Mat.
