Stupid design on RR Sport - Body off to replace a turbo?
Discussion
Sorry, I missed the TDV8 part.
My point is that many people deemed it impossible with the 2.7 engine too but it can be done and saved my brother a fortune. No idea if it's possible with the TDV8.
It probably is easier to remove the body if you have the right equipment as Land Rover made it that way. It sounds a lot harder than it actually is.

they have a huge separate chassis - indeed most major mechanical work requires the body to be lifted off and it is designed for that - everything thing just unclipped and the body can be lifted off by a 2 or four post jack in about 2 hours.

How to remove a body from a manual Disco3.
Seems loads but it's straight forward to do for a LR indy.
The engine bay's are rather full when you look in them, you can remove the turbo insitu, but it's hard to do and this way is easier in the long run.

And the chances of it ever running again with no rattles?
My dad is a mechanics. Has always maintained that no one thinks of the mechanic when they design the cars.
I heard also that the cam chain on an RS6 is an engine out job, too. Madness.
I don't see what's so crazy about this?
It's not particularly time consuming and allows superb access to many components.
It sounds much more bonkers than it is to most, because we're just not used to it with modern (monocoque) vehicles. Coming from a TVR background, it sounds pretty fine to me.
