Maybe you should trace the leak yourself

Problem with that is the whole intake has to be taken off to get to it apparently which is what takes the time so if I have to take it all off to see it then I just as well replace it as its all of anyway

Its not the filter, they have replaced that, they think its the gasket on the cooler which they say the whole intake needs to come off to replace it or even to see if the leak is coming from there, I must admit I have taken the cover off and had a look and you cant see much in there as there is loads in the way

If you’re reluctant to do it yourself, can’t you talk to that mechanic they spoke to with a view to him doing the work? At least you’d know someone competent might be doing it. Or find a local independent LR garage who can look it over? You need quality advice and expertise, which is often only available from your local indie; and normally much better and cheaper than the LR dealer. Robin

Yes it is but i'm trying to find out if its a 5 hour job or they are winding me up coz they dont want to do it and I am quite confident in doing jobs myself so was wondering how difficult it is or any special tooling or any complications in doing the job, Ive worked on many engines but never a TDV6 Cheers 2008 RRS 2.7TD in Stornoway grey, black leather and 22 inch alloys Xtrons Android head unit |

Cheers Col I havent got my car with me so cant have a look but does all the intake need to come off? Do you know if there is any special tooling or any difficulties i will come across doing it outside my house? 2008 RRS 2.7TD in Stornoway grey, black leather and 22 inch alloys Xtrons Android head unit |

Don't appear to be any special tools required, but looks like the Crankcase Vent Oil Separator has to be removed first which looks like a fair bit of work. Might be worth downloading the W/shop manual and having a good read first and then decide if you want to tackle it.
