New addition to the Land Rover family

Hi guys just got myself a 300tdi Safari disco 99 "T"

New to the discovery's although did own a RRC v8

It has a suspected head gasket but before I start striping the head off wanted to dig your brains a bit

Symptoms are -
Intermittent White smoke
Engine does not get hot stays in normal
Heater does not get hot
Seems to drive spot on

I have had a search on here and can't seem to get detonate answer ( if there is one )

Thanks ,

So came out to the discovery today to clean her up and start fault finding and putting costs together.

1. Presumed head gasket fail when I drove vehicle home and engine had warmed up White smoke starting to come from exhaust . So today started her up and had her running for a good 1hr 30min going through the Rev range and NO White smoke ?????

Any ideas on what else this could be engine is not overheating and doesn't appear to be using any water

could it be the turbo seal ?

is there actual oil mixing with the coolant? or are you just guessing the head gaskets had it?

Guessing .....

Only seems to smoke when moving and then only for a few seconds when stationary but started it up and was running for over an hour on the driveway with no white smoke and going through the rev range with engine at normal temperature..

engine doesn't overheat.

no sign of water in oil or oil in water
