2016 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 Landmark LE Santorini Black

Hi all, your collective wisdom would be appreciated.

My 2.2 puma has the same whistling noise as is mentioned here and similar threads. It is currently at the dealer and they have told me they have done diagnostics and visual inspections, smoke leak test and can’t find any clear cause of the whistle so far.

They have told me that they found ‘a small amount of play’ in the turbo spool, which they are saying isn’t a huge issue but could cause the whistle. They are obviously reluctant to suggest replacing the turbo in case it’s not the problem.

What I am wondering is if I should tell them to just go ahead and replace the turbo gasket anyway, since that seems to be relatively straightforward and has solved it for most folks. They seem to have run out of ideas pretty quick, what do you think should be the next steps?
