I'm near Cambridge. He used to work at land rover, so should know what he's on about. Thanks

Didn't charge me anything. Got the feeling he wasnt that interested in doing anything today. Thanks for the advice

On the computer this morning it had about 3pages of faults, some saying stuff like tachograph. He said this is normal and just cleared them. I asked if we took it for a drive and it done it, would it show up. He said no, and come back in a couple of weeks. I'm sorry if I'm a total novice.

Yes, just had a major service before I brought it. Purchased it from my brother-in-law. He looks after his cars very well. That's why I brought it.

Thanks for your advice, I'll take it back to this guy. I'll try to explain a bit more. In fourth with your foot down, it gets to the stage when it needs to go into fifth and start to stutter( it's still pulling intermittently), I put it into top and it's fine until it gets to 55/60, then does...

Can I just clear this up. I've been on this forum twice. Once to join and then today. I put in the details of my landy etc the first time. I've no idea how this forum works or less so how my defender works. Like the previous thread said, I've only posted/ threaded 7 times. I'm not an expert in...

As I said. A couple of weeks ago, I'm new to this. What I do know is it won't say "chugs at fifty" But not knowing much about defenders, I'm trying to give you guys all the things this guy said, and done. If it is the turbo, then fine, I'll get it done. Just thought this guy was a bit un-...

Wow, didn't relies landyzone were full off patronising ****s!! None of the faults pointed to the turbo. I'm trying find out if he's trying to make £500 quid out of me. Surely if it was a problem with the turbo, it would have been on the list of faults that came up?

Yes.:rolleyes:

The guy plugged into his computer this morning, and it had loads of faults. He said he would be better to clear them all, then see what came back up in a couple of weeks. What I didn't get is why this problem wasn't on there somewhere.

2.5 tdi

Many thanks. It doesn't seem to want to "pull" after 50 mph. It does feel like the turbo's not doing it's job. It's good to get some other things it could be, so I can go back to this guy

My defender "jumps, misses" when at high revs. I've been told that's it's the turbo, does this sound correct? He says a new turbo is £550!! :confused::confused:

Hello. I've recently purchased a defender and would like to know of some good places to buy parts in Cambridgeshire. Any do's and dont's, and general things I should know about defenders. It's a 2000,v plate with 80000 miles
