I have a 1992 landrover defender 200tdi the problem is when i first start it up and drive it when its cold the turbo doesnt seem to be boosting but after about 2 mins of driving it seems to start to boost and pulls very good.

Is this normal and just because the turbo is cold or is it a sign of the turbo being on its way out

I dont jump in it when its cold and boot it I know not do that.

The reason i think its not boosting is because I live on a hill and it struggles to get up it in 2nd gear and just has no power and I cannot hear the turbo. But if I drive it for 5 mins and then drive up the hill I can do it in 3rd gear no problem and can hear the turbo working
