(1/5) > >>

crazylady:
help car been in garage for two weeks mechanic still cant fix. turbo works because when top intercooler pipe taken off air was rushing through and can hear turbo working.there is no power at all cant even get up hill. waste gate is not jammed because it moves freely. bottom turbo hose been changed. mechanic said hoses were spongy but after 2 weeks he says "dont know i cant figure out why". cv joint broke so i drove home on diff lock changed cv and since then no power dont know if this is coneccted. i live in portsmouth am willing to pay somebody who knows their landys as costing me a fortune through a garage that finds every fault but the right one. slindon on the 27th and i let my son down for his birthday last time so really want to get it sorted so i can keep promise this time  :(  ideally need a decent mechanic locally for ongoing work and ongoing and ongoing and well need i say more

Does the engine run and freely rev up :?:

Have you placed it on axle stands to see if all wheels turn correctly :?:

From the answers, there could be more questions.......

Will go out to my car now and get you the number of a landy expert who is my dads ex's mate who has worked on landies for 30 pluss years. Great bloke and knows his stuff and close to you.

muddyjames:
Went out to car and it isnt there  :shock:

I have a van for the next few days. Get my car back tomorrow or fri. PM me to remind me and will get his business card out and give you the details. He is an absolute 100% genuine honest guy and knows his stuff.

I know he lives in hedge end which looking at a map is spitting distance of Portsmouth

beast5680:
when does it have no power? when on the road or when standing still? as chris said does it rev freely?
are the hoses from the air filter ok is the filter ok?
also is it auto or manual?
