No problem glad to share. I can tell you of another “ gear box gubbed mate” that wasn’t. Lack of power wouldn’t go over 30mph but revved well and could select gears, used same fix as we used on Audis, blanked EGR with £20 blanking pipe, 10 minute fix and away she went good as new

Original harness looked OK, however on testing with the bulb method after removing it, there was very obviously something intermittently wrong with the harness circuitry, decided to take one out of another vehicle and test, all was well, so had one delivered from GoS in two days. I could write a...

Problem solved by replacing transmission harness, cost £14 from GoS Axminster.

Range rover l322 TD6 100,000 miles, throws transfail safe when driven in auto, live reading shows gear solenoid 2 always on, when driven in manual behaves perfectly and throws no fault. Mackies replaced gearbox about 10,000 miles ago, everyone is stumped, though I am personally leaning to an...

Yes of course, best test turbo under load I always think.

healthy turbo should be 735/750rpm at idle, if you have a live reader you can monitor it on road to check operation, obviously you can check the other relevant readings or all readings live on road.

Spoke to auld farmer, convinced all symptoms of an air problem

What are the readings from the diagnostics, re turbo rpm and fuel pressure..anything else irregular ?

What does it idle at, and does it idle at normal rpm, have they taken a live reading from the turbo at idle ? can it be heard spooling when revs applied ?

Yes, as I said, under load...which would indicate a possible air starvation problem...or...is it stalling with the egr removed also ?

yes you said, so ehy is there no egr on, if it’s ok, why id it off, is it still stalling with no egr on ?

she stalls in the repair shop ?, would be totally amazed if any egr that age was clean

When you put load on she stalls, disconnect hose going into egr, the big hose, see what happens, you have checked egr is not stuck or manky ?

Picture of EGR delete for TD6 mechanical replacement.
