Hello everybody,
I am new to all this so please bear with me if I ask obvious questions. I have wanted
to get my feel wet in the l/r world for some time the opportunity arose recently, I was offered (and bought) a '95 disco 300tdi auto (edc) which had been buggered up. The faults were; 3 ltrs of engine oil too much, camshaft pin sheared & wheel slippage, 8 bent push rods & a broken rocker. Possibly all of these faults were caused by the overfill? It is now working and I'm driving (happily) about BUT although it runs as sweet as a nut and drives very well when it starts (hot or cold) it smokes like dave allen, I mean clouds of oily white / grey smoke, a real show stopper. The throttle is unresponsive and it even pops and bangs. Has anybody any ideas what may be causing this problem. Sorry about the length of this post but I'd like to get as much info out as possible.
Cheers
