Disco 3 and me

[red5]

Standard package then. Official L-R kit.

[Hooli]

Possibly slightly* more than the standard package -

two diffs
half & drive shafts, two sets of rears
spare props
oil, water etc
strops, shackles, ropes
minor bits like axe, machette blah blah blah..

oh & a 25Kg calor gas bottle along with cooker, camping gear...

So, poor running next.
Two potential problems here- seized or sticking actuator on the turbo aaaaanndd a knackered injector.

Injector readings incoming...

[red5]

So it seems injectors are a bit common at higher mileages. Fair enough.

First port of call is the wastegate actuator rod - seized or partially seized. Some mysterious panel and lube whilst working it backwards and forwards.

I have been training literally my whole life for this...

[Hooli]

I'm told it's all in the wrist.

Update time.

Turbo actuator (for vanes - no wastegate on this one) is seized solid. Which usually means vanes seized. Usually.

Will try oven cleaner method first. Then bite the bullet and take it off - lovely job, not at all tight in there.

Suspension - still in non-active mode. Ordered repair kit (well, will tomorrow) and see how that goes.

Park sensors still beep - right rear faulty. Ebay here I come.

Other then that - done 700 odd miles in it - not missed a beat at all.

[red5]

Repair kit is for compressor in case you we wondering, or hadn't bothered reading. It's fine. I'm not offended.

[Hooli]

Aren't these offically body off for turbo removal?

[red5]

Yes. Less so than the v8. Allegedly can be done in situ.

We will see.

Remove dash and cut a hole in the bulkhead for access?

More seriously I'm impressed with your fault finding ability.
