    White smoke from exhaust and it's not head gasket

    Wondering if I could get some advice please? 2005 vogue SE started to smoke a little, it's not head gasket, no brown or milky colour in oil, or on oil cap, isn't loosing any coolant, isn't over heating, smoke doesn't smell sweet. Upon start up, no smoke, of course apart from the odd puff of...

    Head gasket and high pressure oil leak!

    Hi, so I have a 1999 defender 110 TD5. Recently it developed a pressurised coolant system which was a failing head gasket leading to exhaust in the coolant. So I have (following the haynes manual) replaced the gasket. I happened to have an AMC head lying around so stuck that on instead of the...

    oil in the thermstat TD5 II

    Hi I have just managed to get my old thermostat out. The car had been overheating. I found the radiator was cold and it was using a lot of coolant. I tracked down some leaks, due to loose clips and at the time didn't know the correct procedure to get the air out of the system. On removing...

    I'm new and clueless!

    :eek: Hi All, my name is Lauralai and I am the proud and nervous owner of a 67 series 2a. This was my daily driver years ago, pre kids, when it was just me and my Bull Terrier. I loved it. Well, it was put into storage about 10 years ago right after the engine was rebuilt. Then it was stolen :(...

    Head gasket question

    It's my birthday today, and my truck wished me in it's own way by chucking out white smoke from the exhaust and engine oil filler and all the water. I take it as being the head gasket?! What is the best replacement gasket and should I get the head serviced as well as the old girl has been...

    Oil Cooler or head gasket-really need advice.

    I live in Greece so no local Land rover parts available. Yesterday after driving for 45 min the car lost a lot of power when accelerating. I noticed the temp gauge was at 3/4 way. I pulled in within 1 min. The top hose had burst, plus there was grey oil gunk all over the top of the engine. I...

    '93 Disco 200Tdi (98000 miles) Possible Head Gasket

    Hi all My Fiancee broke down on the M1 on Friday - sudden overheating, loss of coolant etc. RAC diagnosed "possible" head gasket and recovered her home to Nottingham. I'm sort of competent and happy to replace the HG myself if that is what it is, but I need a second opinion from a good...

    TD5 leaking coolant

    Hi, I have 1999 Defender with a td5, and I see that I lose about 100ml of coolant every time I start the engine from cold. When the engine is hot, it does not lose any coolant. There is pressure in the coolant system when it is cold. I do not see white smoke. I assume that there is a problem...

    Hi Im afraid im not clued-up on Landies but my Dad informs me his is a Defender 200 Tdi (which has done 170,000miles), so i hope that makes sense! Anyway, it has been gradually starting poorer and poorer and apparently loses power when he attempts to drive up a slight slope. At first i thought...
