I hope its not the turbo!!!
On tick over all sounds and appears fine. When driving however as I start to accelerate it sounds like wind blowing in through the passenger air vents. No apparent loss of power but the "wind" type noise continues as i accelerate through the gears.

Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
 
split turbo hose? If the split is small, you wont lose a great deal of power but you'll definately hear it.
 
Thanks for that. Thats three replies all indicating the same thing. I got it booked into the local Landrover Dealer tomorrow. I just assumed they would be the best qualified to deal with this. Am i due a fleecing with the repair costs?

Parts would probably cost less than £20, they'll probably try to charge you a couple of hours at hmmmmm say £50/h + VAT - they might even try to tell you the turbo is broke (it might be) even if it isnt - that'll be big bucks.

Get a manual (or a real LR) and work it out what needs changing yourself.
 
I live in a little village ere and me local spanner head only charges £25/h - he doesnt go out much, doesnt have a Tv or PC so probably doesnt know what others charge out in the real world - and no one ere is gonna tell him.

I thought double his rates might be nearer to real world charges, apparently not.

I'm sure McVities are putting less chocolate on their chocolate digestives these days.
