Turbo shot????

The Center Housing Rotating Assy (CHRA) is definitely available.
Quick look on eBay brings up this one (China though):
T250-04 TURBO Charger CARTRIDGE/CHRA/CORE for LANDROVER 300TDI | eBay

Also this complete turbo in Melbourne:
ERR4893 Turbo charger for Landrover Defender / Discovery / Range Rover 300TDi | eBay

I'm sure there's plenty of other sources. Triumph Rover Spares in Adelaide would surely have something either new or used:

Thanks Steve for doing the hard work for me - Am in Alice Springs at the moment, and TRS are shipping up a turbo and manifold for me as we speak. $580 for turbo, manifold and oil feed and return lines - figure I'd swop them out too while I was at it, seeing as they can be prone to leaking.

No drama's Mike - happy to help.
Glad the parts are sorted. Good luck with getting it back together and on the road again.

Quote :Anyone have any experience rebuilding a 300tdi turbo? If distant memory serves from home, once upon a time it was possible to buy just the inner cartridge - vein and turbo fan assembly - for substantially cheaper than the entire turbo. Not sure if that option is available in AU though. Unquote

wishful thinking methinks:(

However, if you are going to Alice then you probably couldn't find a better LR service agent/dealer anywhere else in Oz. (Well, used to be, haven't been there for at least 3yrs), get stuff flown in regular freight. Their local LRs really get a hiding.
