It has two fuel pumps on a freelander. One is a low pressure that primes the fuel from the tank to a high pressure pump driven by the engine. But there is no way diesel would get through there into the engine. If your turbo was shot you would loose oil as all that black smoke from the rear would be burning oil. Or you could have a boost leak/egr(exhaust recirculating valve)fault.Some of the new ish motors have a variable vain turbos that are ecu controlled but not sure what is mounted on the freelander,you dont say what year yours is[?]?? Its possible for the variable vain ones to block up with soot but there a big job to strip yourself. The freelanders usually suffer from the diesel low pressure pump failing but it would keep cutting out and be hard to start or not start at all. Does it run rough?? If so the only way the diesel can get in the sump, is if you have a faulty injector and is leaking off in one of the cylinders which will then end up in the sump. Ive seen a few faults with injectors on the freelander to. I think from memory that the newer ones have to be coded to the car to so not something you can do yourself unless you have a very good code reader.
A commer with boost will be appering on a screen near you soon!

Jon, thanks for the reply, the car is running fine when the turbo isnt required, its purely when it spools up. Would something as simple as a blocked wastegate vent filter be an issue.... should really nip out and check. - hadnt thought about a leaky injector.... im just desperate for it not to be the turbo this close to christmas. The turbo is spooling fine, but as you say it may be the vanes. However if the turbo is putting the oil into the system then I think its a new turbo on its way

latest from my mechanic buddy, if i have overfilled the oil then liquid rather than vapour will be drawn into the turbo from the intercooler - that may well be the source of the oil - as a mind fart i do now remember putting a whole bottle of slick 50 in the engine last month, that may have put the level over the brink

Over filling any engine with oil will f#*^ it up completely!!
You just better hope when the turbo spools up it don't draw all the engine oil through it and run up on it till it revs flat out till it goes bang. Even if you take the key out to stop it won't make a difference. Seen it happen a fair few times with the rod hanging out the block as a result!! Lol

did a full oil change - which has improved things,i think the correct levels & extra viscosity of the new oil helped - however still getting fault code P0046 (Turbo/Super Charger Boost Control Solenoid Circuit Range/Performance)when i take it for a run.

"p" codes are not specific manufacures codes, there generic on all models/makes of vehicle, only giving you basic EOBD codes. So really you need a better code reader that gives you maufactures data.That way you may pin point it better.I recon you could have a split boost pipe,you need to check them all to rule it out.It would bring this code up because of this.

funny you mention hoses, a mechanic on the landrover forum reckons its most likely to be a split intercooler hose causing overfueling (under air supply) or a blocked PCV filter (crankcase breather filter)

just finished, changed the intercooler hoses (big splits in them), the PCV filter (completely clogged) & took out the EGR valve and cleaned all the crud out - it now runs sweet as a nut - better than when i first got it - my garage was adamant i needed a new turbo.... cheeky bugger

it appears the ERV was stuck open, constantly putting the exhaust back through - this filled the air inlet manifold with a thick layer of soot, this mixed with the oil ingress from overpressurising the crankcase (due to blocked crankcase breather filter) resulted in a black goo with the consistency of thick peanit butter - had a right good time cleaning that out.
have ordered an ERV bypass kit, apparantly gives an extra 10HP and improved economy

not quite, its the ERV with the exhaust inlet blanked, the piston which sat in the air stream and would have interrupted the air flow from the turbo is gone and the vacuum hose connection is blanked. so basically a means of connecting the hose from the intercooler to the air manifold without all the restrictions in side - worth £25 in my opinion especially if it keeps all that soot out
