Spectacular breakdown - trashed Turbo?
Range Rover Blues:
You aswell eh Ed, there's going to be a bit of midnight oil burned this week if we're all going to get to Whaddon.
Wanderer:
Yup mines being readied for Whaddon.
As well as a new headlamp bowl for the MOT.
It failed on the handbrake adjustment and a muddy headlamp bowl.
He said he's never failed on for having mud inside the bowl :)
Still free retest as it's not computerised and I threw it in without checking everything.
Back in Monday morning for a new ticket.

The bar coming out of it makes it look like a 200Tdi Turbo, but I'm no expert.
If you got the Turbo off easily (and have gone no further) then as I'm local(ish!), you could borrow mine for a 'test' if you like.
Mine is now being used as one of our main 'everyday' cars though so I could only do it if swapping them over is a 'quick job' i.e. an afternoon or an evening rather than a few days!

Thanks for the offer, but progress is way to far on for that, head is almost off .
jnoshea:
Well I won the new turbo unit on ebay so that's getting replaced regardless. The cylinder head is off (thanks to Ed's breaker bar) and the head gasket had blown between cylinder 4 and its nearest cam follower port (if that's what it's called). Given that there was oil in inlets and outlets of the head, I'm thinking that the head gasket blew at this point due to the overheating caused by the turbo failing...but I can't tell.
Now that I have the head off and I have to wait for a new gasket set and turbo should I strip the head down and grind the valve seats and replace the valve stem oil seals, or is this just something people do to fill the time while waiting for parts to come :wink:
