    screaming turbo, help!

    Please help! my 1998 Discovery 300 TDI started screaming on the accelerate over 2000 revs, sounds like high pitched garden strimmer. Have got a turbo even though I can't find any obvious problems with the existing one yet. If it is the turbo will it damage the engine to run it?

    How Do I? 1986 Defender Turbo Problems

    Hi All Landy Lovers. My turbo was making nasty noises and leaking oil, so I got a replacement bearing kit from turbospares on e-bay and replaced the impellor and turbine wheel and shaft at the same time, as they had become damaged - this stopped the excessive oil consumption but the noises...
