Hi
On the way to a recent camping trip the turbo on my discovery 2 decided to give up. After rolling to a stop and a lot of swearing I tried the engine, it reved like mad and black smoke billowed, took the key out and it carried on running so had to stall the engine.
After waiting for the AA to rescue me and the engine to cool down a bit he disconnected the turbo hose and fired the engine up. Needless to say it was missing like crazy. So my question is what’s the possible damage and possible reason for misfiring.? Don’t mind fitting new turbo myself, but need to know what might be going on inside.
