hello everybody,
Since a year i have a problem on which I cannot find solution and I need some help.
My Defender 110 TD5 is burning oil ( approx a liter a week) and coolant is evaporating approximatly at the same rate of 1 liter a week.
The temperature guage does not show any overheating.
The engine was rebuilt by land Rover mechanics approx 2 years ago.
I found some oil in the turbocharger which is new.(1 year)
I do not have any visible trace of coolant or moisture in my engine oil.
I maintain the girl like crazy.
i went 3 times to Land Rover who told me that at the exception of the oil in the turbo everything is fine.
I do not have special smoke coming out of the exhaust
This is driving me nuts as I know something is wrong. When I drive at night and that the weather is cool i do not burn any oil at all but as soon as I am in the bush or running in town during day time it is back to square one. Please remeber I live in a tropical country with an average temperature of 32 celcius.
Any idea or comment which could help will be really welcome.
all the best
