Hi all, Freelander 2 (2012) - keeps going in to reduced engine performance. Needed a new turbo, had that replaced thinking it would also fix the reduced engine performance but hasn't - any ideas what could be wrong?

Do you have the possibility to read the codes on the OBD2 reader, this will tell you where to start looking. It could be as simple as a damaged hose or the DPF is blocked. With out a code reader you're going to be chasing your tail.
Unfortunately it's unlikely it needed the turbo, so that was misdiagnosed. The turbos on these engines are generally good for over 200k miles with proper maintenance.
What codes have been coming up?

There was a gap between the manifold and turbo - we had a diesel smell coming inside the car and when the garage inspected it the bolts had gone in to the turbo so it needed replacing. We thought this would fix the reduced performance. I have dropped it at a garage this morning to see what code is coming up.
Thank you

Do let us know what the codes say, maybe a sensor crank, MAF, etc

The garage didn't tell me the code.. he cleared them (it's a neighbour). It came back on 10 mins later so a friend is putting it on his computer tomorrow so I will let you know the codes. Thank you.
