Hi chaps I am about to have both Turbo's replaced on My 2008 3.6 TDV8, Body Off Job
Just wondering if there is anything else I should get looked at whilst Body the is Off?

Cheers

It would be worth having the brake pipes replaced and maybe look at the exhaust manifold studs as these tend to break due to warped manifolds. Clickadeeclick

Thanks Sharpy


noted in my things to have looked at

A few pics of your activities and what you found would be really useful IDC. Also how many miles on your TDV8? Robin

My one is coming up to 129,000 over 90% motorway Miles, the problem with mine is the actuators, but as I have got 2 new Turbo's already given to me by a friend who had a similar car and same year as mine he gave them to me as he sold the car as seen to some chap who exported it to Lagos, so I thought I get them changed
I will only be paying for the labour charge and service.

I will try and get them to take some snaps as I know the chaps who will be doing the work, they sub contract for Land Rover Main dealers.

I hope mine last as long as yours as I'm on 62,000 miles now. Plenty of time...  Robin

hi pal as long as you drive the hell out of it like you nicked it once in a while and after long runs let the engine run idle for a couple of mins for the Turbos to cool down they should last

Booked in for Tuesday 14th March,
will keep updated and try and post some pics

Hi Chaps just a quick update both turbos out without lifting the body removed exhaust and all heat shealds and got access to Both Turbos. Went in yesterday would have got the car back today, but the stealers did not have the the turbo gasket kit in stock so I have to collect tom morning a 8.30am and hope to get the car back Tom evening I will post pics later this evening

So there you have it no need to lift the body!

My Indi done me proud
They are based in Hayes in Middlesex London, blinding lads

The body comes off????

Here are some photos

Wow I would love to see how they managed that, ( your pics aren't showing up), I have a fully equipped workshop with 2 post lift and all the tools but granted I'm no rangy specialist but when I had my own on the lift with all the heat shields off to change the crankshaft sensor I had the starter out the way too and I looked up at the turbo on that side and thought thank fk I ain't changing that ... yet, and thought no wonder the body has to come off so fair play to them, I took a pic somewhere hold on...




They were with the shields off and starter still in and you can just make out the turbo support bracket I don't think I could even get a spanner on it so  Clickadeeclick

Wonder what happens there?
I did upload 7 pics

Try again, or put them in imgur.
