Could it be the infamous grommet round the steering column has come adrift? |

Both mine have whistled, sometimes more than others, depends on surroundings and your ears, underground car parks she sounds like one of the Jetsons |

Cheers guys, strange one as after 8 years of Freelander 2 ownership, I have never heard this as loud as it is now. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

split interlcooler pipe I suggest, look closely though as the boosted air leaking will be causing the Whistle

It is still holding boost, so I doubt a boost hose is at fault. If there was a boost leak it would feel flat, mpg will drop off and she would over fuel.

Mine makes a right good weeeerrrrr sound, like above pulls well dose not overly smoke, but get a weeeeerrrr sound, it use to give a whistle type sound when you revved it, but now hardly hear the whistle and just get a weeerrr

No smoke at all, it has a DPF so you wouldn't see any smoke from overfuelling anyway. I'll get it checked out. You could be right right in what you are saying, but it doesn't drive like there is a loss of boost pressure, but it didn't sound like this before. Update, I have been to my local LR dealer this morning. An initial look doesn't show up any leaking hoses, but they identified that the turbo appears louder than normal. I also switched over to the other trip computer which has shown an average for the past 3 months, and mpg has dropped to a round 19mpg. So she is going in on the 22nd Jan for a full investigation. It may not have a fault, but I'd rather have her checked out properly. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Got the car back today, and it looks like it is going to have a new Turbo fitted. All boost pipes and Intercooler are fine, but the dealer suspects that the turbo has a mechanical fault which is causing under boosting and the loud whistle.

Only one, if the body's off might as well replace them both. |

Mines on 22,000 miles. I haven't really felt any under boosting, but it sure whistles, sounds like a hair drier!

Just had my turbo replaced, thankfully under warranty. It was leaking exhaust gases through the body of the turbo which then were being taken into the cabin: not a pleasant experience! Don't know the technical details of the failure but the above is what I was told by dealer. So, some do fail, and I guess in some different ways with different symptoms. 2011 SD4 HSE Auto

I collected the car today, after it was at the dealers all week.
