Just wanted to know if anyone else has replaced these and how much of a pig are they to get to?.
Everything happening with my car at the moment is pointing to an intercooler hose being split but the ... |

| I’m thinking it’s got to be one of the inlet manifolds now, checked the actuators this morning, passenger side working fine, drivers side a little sticky but WD 40 applied and was all working fine ... |

Thought the best thing to do would be to get it plugged in at a Land Rover place

Someone else had a look earlier and he’s fairly convinced it’s sticking actuators causing it.
I’ve got some of the Wynns turbo cleaner spray I’m going to use too, where is the best place to s ... |

Well that’s a bust unfortunately, my 4x4 trolley jack that I’ve only ever used once isn’t working  going to check the MAP sensors just in case. |

| Thanks again, I’m going to try and free up the actuators tomorrow and see if that helps, I’ve ordered some turbo cleaner, both the additive to the diesel tank and the one you spray down the intake ... |

| Bit early to say with the one I’ve just got but I’ve got an early 90s Landcruiser as a backup just in case!, very different cars, both great in their own way and both have their downsides. |
