Chap tells me that, according to LR, a D3 turbo replacement requires the body to be removed from the chassis at 'Item 1' of the procedure. This can't be true........ can it? The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Mine is in this very moment for a new Turbo.
Only issue is LR don't have any with no date for supply!
But No, no body off!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Turbo units
My turbo failed 2 days after the car was purchased - I was also told there were none available but Landrover Customer Service were involved and one turned up within 3 days! - I was also told it was a body off job in the past, however an alternative method is now used.

Item 1
Quote:
WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands
Item 2
Quote:
Open the hood
Item 3 (for LHD vehicles)
Quote:
CAUTION: Do not turn the steering wheel with the steering column lower shaft disconnected as damage to the clockspring and steering wheel switches may occur.
CAUTION: Make sure the steering is in the straight ahead position.
NOTE:
Note the fitted position.
Loosen the steering column lower shaft to steering column upper shaft bolt.
etc. etc.
The hardest bit is item 10
Quote:
With assistance, remove the transmission support crossmember. Remove the 4 nuts and bolts.
NO mention of 'remove the body' (unless you count the rambler jammed under the transmission support crossmember )

I think this story must have leaked out of Land Rover. We had to do a lot of work to make the turbo removable in vehicle. During development the fitters used to just lift the body.

how come so many turbos are failing, and what sort of miles are they lasting, also what are the signs that it is packing in Welcome to the Global Warming Corner.

So many? I'm sure I've read about less than 10 on here - how many thousands of D3's are on the road?
