Just a quick update on this. Got the "new" turbo actuator through today and got it straight on the car. Cleared the fault codes, started it up and all is well. Taken it for a drive and no more intermittent limp mode or engine management light at the moment. I was hoping to feel a bit more power from freeing up the arm that connects to the actuator but alas not. But that could be down to now having a mismatched actuator to turbo. But I've been told that this can be fixed with one of those posh computers that plugs into the car. |

Your Turbo 'Restricted Performance' issue does match my experience of a sticking actuator/turbo vanes.

IanMetro: I did find your thread and did have a good long read of it which shoved me towards a new actuator even though my gut was telling me otherwise. So thanks for posting that thread. |

That's a good point that you mention about the BMS having to re-learn the capacity of a new battery.

The devices I fitted to our cars are similar to https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCELI-Bluetooth-...amp;sr=8-6

IanMetro: It's times like these that I am so happy to own a Freelander 2 and not a posh Mercedes, BMW or the likes that you probably need to go to the garage and pay a fortune for them to replace the battery and then tell the car. |

it does sound like a battery problem and these cars do like a good battery also have you got the extra earth strap on yours ? is it the original starter motor ? it does seem strange that the Actuator failed at the same time it could probably do with an air path calibration to let the ecu relearn values also have you checked the throttle body for stripped gears sorry to bombard you with so many questions but these are things I would be looking at |

We got back from our weekend at Land Rover Owner International Show at Belvoir Castle Sunday evening and then Alana had the car on Monday so haven't been able to update this thread until today. Mostly good news! |
