Hope someone can give me some help my rrs tdv8 yesterday broke down on overtaking I have been advised that the engine is locked and the intercoolers full of oil turbo failure caused this.
I was told that there will prob be engine damage as it was on high revs when it went.
How sure will it be that engine damage occurred and not just the turbo.
Car has full history and I do have it well looked after
Any advise or help appreciated .

Sorry to hear your bad news If the turbo has gone at high revs and under full load as you say, then i think its safe to say, "you are looking at a new engine" Obviously you will need to get this checked out for conformation, but it doesn't sound good.

I have got a warranty direct warranty on it so this will be a test of there payout structure

That will be some test . Let us know how you get on and good luck with it .

Hope it includes consequential damage.

Has anyone had good results regarding engine damage with warranty direct ?

Sorry to hear that. Hope the warranty.comes good for you  MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

Lights look great btw, sorry to hear that happened to you man, I've 120 coming up on mine, keep it freshly oiled, but no idea how to look to prevent this from happening to me. Where you sinking it hard and it went? 

Yet another....... LR are beginning to look a bit silly🔫
Mine did something similar at low revs, resulting bill was £16k, and 8 pages if parts. The most likely cause will be oil seal failure in the turbo, filling the engine intake with sump oil. It could be hydraulic'd on its own oil, remove heater plugs and turns over, more likely it's seized due to lack of oil in sump. Been there done that.....  2x TDV6. SE and HSE.

Ok looks like 2 turbos required but engine running sweet without any turbos connected so eases the pain a little

That's good to hear ! Could have been a LOT worse .

Damn feel sorry for you!
Mine approaching 70k, I'm hoping the fact that I'm maintaining it by main dealer will help towards mitigating such crap. Any other advice to avoid turbo failing guys? 07 TDV8 + BAS map

Was speaking to a turbo specialist the other day, said the most common cause of TDV8 turbo issues is lack of oil from a blocked oil feed pipe

He recommended an engine flush every service, to.clear out any deposits, or replace the pipe every 3 years...
