Hello all,
I owned a defender 90 about 10 years ago and regretted selling it ever since, so yesterday I finally bought another defender 90 1994.
Unfortunately on the way home it started making a chuffing noise and after inspection looks like it's blowing from the head gasket at the back onto the bulkhead! So thought I would join this forum and ask for some advice and help from people who obviously have a much better knowledge and experience than me.
Would it be advisable to take on fitting a new head gasket? I have relatively good mechanical experience at a diy level, but I've never fitted head gasket apart from on an old mini! Any dos or don'ts?
