ird removal

can someone tell me,when replacing a td4 turbo you have to take out thefront subframe then the ird unit just to get to the turbo, and i remove the intercooler today and was what is the best way of flushing the oil out

It is easier to remove the front crossmember and ird to get the turbo out.
You need to steam clean the intercooler and if the turbo has failed then take all the pipe work out and steam clean them as well. If there are any particals left in the pipe work then it could cause the new turbo to fail.

can you explain a bit more about the crossmember

LR call it the rear beam, its the what I think you have called front sub frame. If you down load the rave disk then it will give you all the info you need.

This is the link for it land rover rave technical system

just undo rear sub frame bolts it should drop down enough

any one with info on where to get an IRD for my freelander? - at a reasonable price of course!
