The Dark Wob

Standard package then. Official L-R kit.

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...

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...

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.

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

Aren't these offically body off for turbo removal?

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.
