    so, now have a wobble free Freelander 1 td4 (new VCU) bit noisy but have bearings (FAG's) on order.
    ****ing about in the water and now massive power loss almost feels like turbo not engaging ?

    when warms up get like a squealing noise then the power loss starts, feels like running an old diesel with no boost.... :(
    any help or advice much appreciated :)

    was thinking egr valve or the turbo control thing with the 3 vacuum pipes running to it but wondered if anybody else had similar issues ?

    was fine until it got wet :(

    all sorted and fixed !
    just a quick post in case somebody might find it useful
    located the problem to split vacuum hoses around the turbo actuator, can only assume they were sucking in water and the breather filter full of water and so air locked.

    replaced hoses emptied out filter now running sweet again (famous last words)

    Omg it’s a Freelander…..

    So. New vcu bearings put on fresh from bell, whine has gone which is good but one of the bearing has an annoying squeak on full lock ffs….

    also when had it in bits checked the IRD pinion bearings, pleased to report all good.

    So better than before but the saga continues..
