I have found out what the turbo flutter was!! Turbo started whining today. ****ed. :( should have guessed it was too good to be true... anyone know of any cheap turbos?

Absolutely, thanks for the advice mate. :)

Ive just been informed on another thread, my turbo flutter might actually be healthy! So don't not get one on the back of my concerns there mate. Honestly, do thorough history checks and you will have yourself a bueat im sure. bearing that in mind, you can buy mine if you want! haha £3950...

That video is EXACTLY how mine sounds! I was concerned as it came about randomly... I had never noticed it before. I'm going to check pressures for peace of mind, but you guys have filled with confidence again!! Thank you gents. Much appreciated.

Okay mate brilliant, I will get on ebay now! Could she be over boosting then? sending more air than the engine needs or can burn? ... I wonder if its worth while trying to find out if the last owner has tried to re map it, and done it wrong? Would that cause this?!

Hi mate, HSE your looking for (High Spec Edition) I have a 2007 FL2 HSE... Mines a problem child to be honest, but there not all like that! Its luck of the draw. look for the obvious, but pay attention to the service history!!! Ideally that belt would have been done any where near the 100k...

Thanks for getting back to me mate!! Mechanic recons it dropped a valve?! Didn't bother doing full diagnostics as it wasn't turning and he was very confident it was a goner. ( I was in a fortunate position that it was just as cost efficient to replace the block than to go down the diagnostic...

Trying to diagnose compressor surge from my Freelander 2... Not 100% sure if its connected but I have just had to replace my engine (seized). Had the turbo flutter before new engine and its still there now! Turbo looks and feels very healthy, no play ect... I have checked every inch of hose, no...

Hi again guys! My Freelander 2 is still bringing me joy! I have been told that I need a new engine!!! I was hoping I could ask you guys if this all fits before I go down that route. So long story short car has been off the road for about 2 months with an un-diagnosable "turbo flutter", engine...

I'm pretty sure i have mate. Where would the next likely culprit be do you think?

I self diagnosed a failing boost actuator for my FL2. Got all the signs so looking into a replacement. Ive just read however that you cant really replace them as there unique to the turbo?? Link here to where i read that -...

Hi guys, Sit rep! Replaced the air intake pipe, and the car is performing a little better but still not boosting properly! Engine Management light still on as well, accompanied by the "tsss" from I'm assuming the turbo.... Im thinking the next step is to change the boost actuator?? Unless you...

Thanks for your reply GrumpyGel. I will pop over to my local dismantler's in the week and see if i can get a good one. They seem quite hard to find online... unless I'm not looking in the right places!

It split right on the end, just before the jubilee clip! I've also included a picture to try and show just how much oil was in there!

Thanks for your reply!! All understood on replacing the pipe. With regards to that, do the 4 church organ looking tubes that come down from the air intake pipe do anything?? basically do I need to buy the exact one again or could I just use a standard straight pipe?? With regards to the turbo...
