Turbochargers spin at over 150,000 rpm and rely entirely on clean, cool oil. Extended oil intervals and short journeys coke the bearings, and a failed turbo can send oil through the intercooler and into the engine. Catching the early signs saves a great deal of money.
We check boost pressure against target, inspect shaft play with a borescope, test the electronic actuator and check oil feed and return lines before condemning a unit. Where replacement is needed we fit genuine or Garrett remanufactured turbochargers and always renew the oil feed pipe, gaskets and engine oil at the same time.

How we work
Every job begins with a proper diagnosis on the lift and on Land Rover's diagnostic platform. You receive a written report, photos and a fixed price on WhatsApp before any work begins. Genuine or OE-equivalent parts are used, every repair carries a written warranty, and the vehicle is road tested before handover.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Range Rover turbo be repaired?
Sometimes the actuator or a boost pipe is the fault rather than the turbo itself. If the core is worn we recommend a remanufactured or new unit rather than a cheap rebuild kit.
Why must the oil lines be replaced?
Old oil feed lines carry carbon deposits that can starve the new turbo of oil. Replacing them is a warranty condition for us.
How long does a turbo replacement take?
Usually one to two days, depending on access on your particular engine.
