Pete k thanks for the link it’s had an octane booster in it from day 1 that I’ve owned it done a tank and half in it was smoking when I first got it but that has cleared do you think that link would be better stuff owt is worth a try but I’ve doubled the dose of octane boost so I’d of thought that would have been better than owt

Wynns has had good results for sorting the turbo.
They seamed to have combined the products these days. But that one seams for turbo

Gstuart there is no oil at all around the turbo I think it’s a very stubborn actuator or the veins have a massive carbon build up.
Plan for tomorrow see if I can see it moving by the key was planning on doing it tonight but little lady is tired so game over for day and I’m getting very frustrated with it 😂😂
That’s great news there’s no leaks around the turbo
Plus 1 ref what Pete mentions about the treatment
Hope all goes well and indeed plse let us know how things go

Fixed thank you everyone went in from the wheel tools I used are in the picture below now for the next missions took some time and effort but now it’s like you can blow on it I was scared that I pulled on it too hard but is now working under key so all good I’ll definitely keep up to it as a serviceable item

Thankyou
No probs and always a team effort contribution, another reason I like this forum so much
Hope u don’t mind me adding but as it’s been off the road for 2 x years would check / replace all the brake hoses, including the brake fluid which should be dot 4 class 6 , plus fuel filter , which is normally done every other year
Doesn’t hurt to also change the air compressor dryer material and filters
Assume then ur do a full service as then ur have a good starting point knowing things have been done
Apologises if that’s already been done
Hope that also helps

Gstuart don’t mind at all mate and no need to apologise. I’m totally new to landrover im more of a sports car kinda guy but having a new born I wanted her safe a friend bought it for 1500 and I gave him 2500 for it I knew it would be a work in progress but when I’ve done I hope to have a good car that’s back to its former glory..
When I got it drove down road it sunk after a bit of digging realised the air compressor needed an over haul did that put little balls in it had to recalibrate the steering touch wood been fine ever since. Hand break they broke it when they moved the car originally so that’s always needed doing next job. Now on to the gearbox it went into handover at 78000 owner said it had a problem(the problem I’ve got) feels like it’s driving on gravel. Looking though the history it had an advisory for leaking oil from gearbox I believe it was the plastic at the top but I’m guessing was thinking that if this hasn’t been fixed and it drained it could not be the torque converter but could be low on oil so when I do the handbreak I’m going to drop and fill to the level see if it leaks or if it solves the issue I don’t want to add dr tranny heard this damages gear box if I need a new torque converter then so be it I’m not going to do the oil change properly because I don’t like the idea of a gearbox flush apparently blows seals at my mileage don’t want to empty torque converter by using gears with no oil so instead with dilute the oil and drop again and replace. (If I’m wrong please someone tell me) I’ll also do transfer box oil and diff oil at same time. The engine oil and fuel filter has apparently been done but I will redo these anyway at some point. Lower bushes need doing but that was an advisory no play just worn I’ll do these but only if it fails otherwise this will be done when car is more reliable mot is due in 43 days so time will tell had an advisory too for rear break lines so I’ll do them at same time change the fluid I’m also going to overhaul all 4 callipers and paint under seal the whole chassis but I’ll take body off for that bit at a time but I will get it mint then I’ll sell one winter and hopefully get my money back plus some. Any advice input feel free to say it’s all welcome cheers
