Hi All,

With the 2001 TD5 Discovery I have just brought it has a Turbo whistle. I will try and get a video later. But last TD5 Discovery I had no Turbo noise.

I have heard other Discovery's sound the same and when I was in Newcastle the LR Mechanic told me they do make Turbo noise if they have been tuned.....

Not sure if this is the case, but other one I have heard is by removing the EGR valve, this increases the Turbo noise.

I dont think there is anything wrong with mine,(well hoping) but was curious to know if people have notice increase in Turbo Noise by doing either of these mods......

I get a slight spooling sound from idle to about 1200 rpm. After that it gets drowned out by the rest of the motor.
