Well had my first break down, the dreaded limp mode kicked in right when I didn't need it on my way to my holiday, got recovered to my destination, found a garage near Driffield, from the sounds it was making and reading on here, I was hoping for a split inter cooler pipe, the garage suggested the same and ordered the turbo inlet pipe, £65 plus labour and a system reset. When I collected they said they wouldn't recommend using it and that the turbo was knackered TBH it sounded as rough as anything, and sounded like metal on metal contact, 5 mins driving and limp mode kicked in again..

Got recovered home and decided to explore further, had a feel at the turbo and couldn't feel that much play and it hadn't been smoking prior. Got underneath and noticed the actuator lever on the back of the turbo dangling in fresh air.....stupid plastic clip that probably cost 20p to make looked to have failed, why do they make such rubbish designs when some bits look bomb proof.

Re attached it, put a circlip on the shaft had the engine management reset all noises gone and car running like a dream again.
Just goes to show dealers don't always know best, I feel a little robbed of my £150 now though and can't believe they didn't spot the fault.
Just keeping my fingers crossed now.

That's got to be worth a letter of complaint to the dealer or failing that, LR customer services. You've got nothing to lose. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

^^+1 the issue surrounding the fault should have been inspected and not assumed.....
