Hi all

I am in abit of a panic. I have a 1987 ex military 110 2.5 N/A.

It is my daliy runaround and I am wanting to restore it back to the nato green army look.

Today I noticed when checking the water level that it was black and oily. The landy still seems to be running ok and it hasnt lost any water. I took the oil cap off and had alook and cant see anything wrong.

The only thing ive noticed is that when accelerating hard/pulling away, I get abit of smoke.

I am really concerned as I just dont have the cash at moe to carry out expensive repairs nor the confidence to attempt anything myself.

Do you guys think its a serious issue? Anyone know a good mechanic in stevenage, hertfordshire who works on landys and is fair?

Cheers peeps

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news mate but it sounds like your headgasket is cream crackered.
 
Anyone know of someone in stevenage, hertfordshire area who can do this sort of work on landy's. Whats the going rate for a headgasket repair?

It's the labour thats the killer. Parts are cheap. The lower you can get the labour rate the cheaper the job. Do you not have any mates in your neck of the woods that could do it for you for beer?
