But they haven't investigated at all, apart from looking at oil level and the turbo, as stated by the technician I spoke to working at the dealer.

No Nor did it when the engine went

Would 2-3 miles suffice as a road test? It's what the dealership drove it as part of the road test post repair. I had driven around 25 miles when it broke down after the repair.

They didn't do either! *Edit Pretty much everywhere I've searched online and garages I have spoken to have stated that you should investigate to find if there's causes of turbo failure. Most common causes for turbo's failing are due to contamination, starvation, etc.

Dealership stated that the oil level when it went for the turbo diagnostic had low oil level, but within the minimum amount. They checked oil after replacing the turbo, only way I could have run oil dry is after they've given it back to me after their repair and on the way home. I'm not stating...

That has been suggested, the only way to prove if they did fail the original repair, if I go there and ask to see the new turbo and find out if that has now been damaged, but unfortunately is a gamble.

This is what i'm trying to prove. They didn't look past oil level and impeller movement. Not sure, but the Defender has done just under 70k miles (around 67k / 68k), so not sure if I'd have a case for that. Would greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the direction on any information...

I prefer to use my local garage as well, and did ask them to price the job up (best they could not knowing the full extent of the turbo failure, which they told me at the time would include an investigation and possibly finding other problems which caused the turbo damage), but there wasn't much...

I understand that it wasn't the best thing to do to carry on driving after turbo failed, but as I was only a short distance from the dealership I decided to carry on rather than pull in somewhere with very little hard shoulder space. My complaint being that they didn't diagnose the full...

Lost power and it was spluttering. I stopped immediately. I had checked oil level on Nov 29th, and it was mid way between max and min. The technician told me the oil level was low, but still within minimum when it first went in for the turbo. According to dealership they didn't have to...

Service was done in the summer by a local garage, oil and filter changed. No obvious signs (if there were any, I didn't notice them) before to the turbo going when I experienced lack of acceleration and power on that day.

I'm after some advice please. Defender 110 2.4TDCi XS Utility Wagon 2010 The turbo went on my Defender six weeks ago, as I was only a few miles from the LR dealership, I carried on in and booked it in for the repair. They diagnosed it as "excessive movement with impeller" and replaced the...
