Freelander Turbo refit

First post on Landy Zone and I have owned a 1999 Freelander 2.0 L Diesel for 3 years !! This car is driven by my wife and has been bomb proof. That said I did my research and went for the 2 litre diesel rather than the petrol disaster !
I am now having to fit a new turbo as it let go big time on the motorway yesterday.

I now need some help please.

Any tips on the fitting of the "new" turbo ? There does not appear to be any gaskets on the one I took off ! Is this normal ? I would have expected a gasket on the oil pipe at least !

I have also read on this site about the need to change the crank case breather filter. Where is this ?

Sorry to sound like a spanner rash victim waiting to happen but any tips would be very gratefully recieved.

Sent you a PM..

Out of the frying pan and into the fire !!

Turbo refit went well. Sourced used turbo from a place nr Galstonbury and Freelander works better than ever. A bit fiddly but pretty straight forward.

Have now traded the Freelander for a similar model (Ahem)

Mercedes SLK320 convertible......Maybe my troubles are only just starting !!

Take a look at your air filter dirty blocked filter clean/ replace. Then if that is ok look to see if you are getting good flow of fuel to jets.

If poor fuel at pump check / replace fuel filter. Lastly chek air management unit
