Sourcing a Turbo for Defender 300tdi
Hi all

I need to replace the turbo on my 300tdi 110. There's huge variance on price out there from 'new' turbos at £230 (made to what standard, out of what materials/ how long will they last?) to £650.

Does anyone have recommendations --where can I get one from that will last but at a reasonable price?

thanks 110 Defender 300tdi & Penman trailer with ally exped top and roof tent

I wouldn;t chance a cheap one personally, I would buy from a reputable company myself as I would like to think they wouldn't sell tat.

I used a company called The Turbo Centre and was happy with them. They do a recon exchange service and if you fancy spending a bit more, can add larger internals or build a VGT. I went for the standard one but quick service and sensible prices a few years ago. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

I bought mine from Turbo Technics. http://www.turbotechnics.com/

One of the best Turbo builders in the country. They also make the VGT Turbos for BAS.

Really happy with it. They are in Northampton, so if you are going to Peterborough its not far away if you wanted to visit them and pick it up.

I have a VGT turbo for my 300tdi from TurboTechnics. Been on the truck for 60K miles now and it is spot on.

Aet have been around for over 40 years and before the big company's like Mann and mercedes Benz took their turbo remans in house aet used to do them all Whistle







Even Enzo Ferrari talked to aet direct about some work Whistle Ray

To be honest I'm not sure. I don't work there Mr. Green if you give them a ring they should sort you out Thumbs Up Ray
