Hi, my defender td5 2002 90 struggles on acceleration and its hard to get it above 65
Just trying to figure out why at first the E pin on the boost waste gate was misidentified so i thought it could be that but that hasn’t changed anything so iv removed the pipe and this is how much play is in the turbo?



Is this normal and would this cause a lack in power when accelerating?
The problem of the lack in power started after I had my clutch and flywheel changed, at first i thought it was the crank shaft position sensor+ cables as I could see a bit of damage on them, so i fitted a new sensor and cable loom but this didn’t change anything, any ideas of anything other sensors that could have gotten damaged? Thank you

Turbo is shot, actuator rod may be seized, have you pulled the red plug off the ecu to see if its got oil in it.
EGR valve can cause low power too.
