Dear Handyseany See my post on 6 Feb 2005 under this thread. It looks to me as if your turbocharger is on the way out. But I hasten to add I'm not a mechanic and might well be talking a load of manure. But I believe there are bearings within the turbocharger that when not lubricated...

I experienced the loss of power problem as some of you know. After local LR dealer could not find the cause I resorted to an independent. I wrongly understood that the first thing he looked at and replaced was the depression limiter valve (this is at back of engine and is readily found...

I agree with ming. I noticed a similar smell from mine and was also experiencing loss of power problem but didn't connect the two. The rasping noise might mean your turbine bearing in the turbo is on its way out? Others with more knowledge will probably know better but I don't believe that...

My vehicle suffered similar fate. Lack of power diagnosed as a variable air nozzle (caused by turbine bearings going). Clouds of black reek diagnosed as oil getting into exhaust (caused by failure of seals at turbine bearing). Seems the only cure is to replace the turbocharger but don't do it...

I collected my car last Thursday but have delayed posting until now because I wanted to run it for a few days to make sure all was in good order. I am happy to report that my car no longer suffers the loss of power between 70 - 80 mph problem. Now it will accelerate beyond 80 mph and even...

Ming....Yes mine is a td4 and I won't be getting more hp until I am convinced the loss of power issue has been resolved.

Ming...As I say I don't have much knowledge of these things so I don't know what impact the limiter has on engine performance if it isn't working properly. Nor have I been able to glean this info from searching the net but what you say makes sense. I thought when I first encountered the loss...

Ming...As I hadn't a clue about what everyone was talking about downloaded a copy of Rave yesterday. I now see where the depression limiter is located. To get to it means removing the air cleaner cover, air filter and intake ducting, disconnecting multiplugs and moving aside the injector...

This thread seems to have died? Does this mean that everyone suffering this problem has obtained closure? I took mine to an independent. When he plugged in his testbook before starting the engine a fault "variable air nozzle" registered on his testbook. Having cleared this he then started the...

Get a grip you lot. I know we have problems but I can't believe we need to contemplate suicide just yet. Happy New Year??? Brian

Glad to see some of you have had your issues resolved. At least there is hope for the rest of us still trying to find a resolution. I don't want to go through a process of changing bits just to see if it will cure the problem scenario especially at the prices main L/R dealers charge...

I have same problem with my 2002 TD4 ES. I have done approx 80,000 miles. Other than a minor problem (radio/cd control switch on steering wheel fell off first time it was touched) mine has run sweetly until last Thursday. Took it to Landrover dealer in Perth yesterday as pre-arranged. They...
