Thread: Turbo Leak in 3.0 litre

Interesting. My bill was around $7000, including the wheel bearings.


I am now taking the car in next week to get new air springs and shocks all round, including fitting the wheel bearings (hubs) that I paid for in the $7000.00. I already had the cam belt changed last year plus new EPB and a few other expensive bits such as the water pump. Also a major engine oil leak on the RHS rear of the bash plate, which apparently could be a leaking turbo oil pipe. Rovertech have had 4 other cars with this leak recently and have never had it before. I'm thinking another $5000 plus for this, although they have imported the struts direct from the UK so they may be a bit cheaper.


My next worry is the transmission, which is fine so far but I don't want it to fail in a remote place.


As you say, they are so good to drive, especially on long runs in rough country, that we just pay for the repairs that result from this usage.

Year, the second one was fine but I requested it while they had the car apart. The last thing I want is the other manifold to go in six months time. I will replace everything that is necessary so that the car is reliable. I don't intend to sell it for some time and it is mainly used now for touring so reliability is important. The manifolds are something like $650 each, from memory.
