Diesel RR V8 turbo problems?
Discussion
My mate has had a 2008 V8 diesel Range Rover sport, 3.6 I think it is. Apparently he was having the occasional issue where it would go into limp mode but restart and it was fine again. Didn't happen that often.
A couple of weeks ago he had a full service by an independent RR garage, on the drive away from the service it went into limp mode and wouldn't come out of it, the garage took it back, hooked it up and diagnosed the EGR valve, changed it but it wasn't that and the fault is still there, they are now saying both turbos are faulty and want £5K to change them.
I've not seen the vehicle as its sat at the garage at the moment but is it not strange that this has happened right after the service, is there a common issue that happens to these engines? and why would both turbos need doing? It looks to me like the garage is just changing parts until they solve the problem.
It does quite a few short trips if that makes any difference.

Cheers for the replies, he did say the EGR's have been changed but I didn't know there were two, in fact he called them EDRs. so yess I think both have been changed.
He is the sort of bloke who always goes to a friend of a friend though, so he says Range Rover specialist, it may well be a backstreet mechanic that had worked on one once. I only found out about it last night when he said have you heard about my RR.
