I'd say you got of lightly. So far! |

My previous car had a new turbo fitted. It would intermittently almost stall when at idle, lots of diagnostic work and parts changed, eventually traced to the turbo which they claimed had a 'bent' impeller shaft causing the turbo to stall and hence the revs dropped.

I am having the occasional "almost stalling" problem with my new purchase. Can you remember the error codes it was throwing up? I had a mate check mine over and it had some codes stored. I am running it for a week after clearing those to see if it is still throwing up the same errors. Mine also occasionally starts and then immediately dies. It then restarts as normal. It pulls well so I am unsure if it is a turbo problem. I may be asking for forum help in the next couple of weeks!! |

Mine wasn't producing any error codes and never actually stalled, the revs at idle would drop to a shuddering 3-400 for a second or so then recover. Various parts where changed over a course of about two months, sometimes it would cure it for a few days and then it would revert to the revs dropping. LR technicians got involved twice to have a look, on the final time the turbo was replaced and what they discovered was that the impeller was stiff in one spot, the tech could spin the impeller and it would always stop at the same point, they concluded this sticking point could be the issue. The new turbo did seem to cure the issue although I only had the car another 4 weeks as I swapped out for the red one.

Many thanks for the info. My symptoms are identical. Mine hasn't done it again since the fault codes were cleared which is a nuisance as I was hoping to eliminate other possible causes. |

As a fairly new owner of one of the last MY15's can I assume that most of these issues were corrected???? Ie diff, bearings etc or am I in ecstasy land!!!☺️
