Hi, I have a poorly 55 plate RRS and struggling to diagnose. Any thoughts, short of firing it, would be greatly received.

I parked it up and it was fine, the following morning - massive loss of power, until about 3k revs. No faults on dash etc.

I was sure it must be the EGV thingies, but as they were blanked a couple of years ago, I assumed one must have come loose - no such luck, although the symptoms were the same.

The only faults showing are the EGV's, but they've been faulty for ages, hence the blanking plates, so I'm guessing that can't be the issue?

All hoses seem to be ok and the actuator on the turbo isn't stuck. Is it possible that the vanes of the Turbo could still be stuck even with the actuator working?

Swapped the Fuel flow meter thingy today, but no difference. If I'm being honest, it's probably a little better with it disconnected!!!

We seen to be struggling (including me 2 LR guys). Fuel filter, etc all changed. If this makes any difference, it's worse when cold, but still REALLY bad when warm.

Many thanks - Bono

Have you checked the intercooler for any splits in it ?

Flack

Umm, interesting. I haven't, no - just the pipes. That's job no 1 in the morning.

Many thanks Flack.

Am I safe to rule out the turbo itself with the actuator working? I'm assuming if the vanes were stuck, the actuator wouldn't operate?

Many thanks - Bono

Well, all now sorted curtesy of my excellent LR specialist. It turned out to be the EGV blanking plates - they had burnt through!!! How bizarre, although the symptoms were definately the EGV's. Don't know how he found it, as they looked fine from the outside.

Many thanks - Bono
