I phoned the stealer to see if it was a forgotten warranty issue, which it wasn't and was told, as I mentioned above, £489.
I then rang Land Rover and was told the same regarding any warranty issue, but was told to take it to a authorised dealer to have a full "diagnostic" (look under the bonnet to me and you) and they would look into it, which was very helpful, but the local stealer is still Stratstone and they charged £100 an hour the last time I was in the Wolverhampton service department. Knowing that they charge a minimum of one hour I thought, well it's going to cost me £100 to get it looked at with them at least and if Land Rover look on favourably I dare say I'd still have to pay the labour (warranty expired), so i doubt I'd be any better off. I was recommended Roean in Telford by a few Land Rover owning mates, so I rang them up this morning, took it this afternoon and they did it whilst I waited for £154 all in (pump, seal, vat, labour) and got rid of most of the oil sprayed liberally around the l/h side of the wing. Trouble is it looks weird as it's a bit too clean there now! Oh, and red dot, the turbo is no longer up for sale  .
Thanks for all the help chaps. I've learned a few things today. Chris. http://shropshirelandrovers.freeforums.org 2015 Defender 90 XS SW & Helen, 1964 IIa.

Cheers.
Also, going on their prices and local reputation they'll be getting my pennies for the next service too. It's about 30 miles from where I live, but the railway station is only a mile away, so I can leave him there overnight if needs be.

I'm not mechanic so forgive me for questioning you on this.....
but it sounds like the vacume pump for the brakes not the turbo? didn't know the turbo had a pump or seal? also isnt the turbo and pump on the r/h wing ? sorry to nit pick just interested to know what the problem was.  |

Have a read through. I was wrong, it's not the turbo.
