My 1.8 petrol Freelander is smoking. Smoking like its got a 300 a day Woodbines habit. Smoking like you see tanks doing on a battlefield...
It's bad. OK?
Grey smoke - thinking oil getting burnt.
Thinking it might be a broken ring I've done a compression test and the reading are as follows, 1 to 4: 200psi, 200psi, 160psi, 200psi.
Whilst number 3 is significantly down I wouldn't have thought that would indicate a broken ring as there's still a lot of pressure there.
It has had a reconditioned cylinder head and MLS head gasket recently but this had been pressure tested and skimmed so I don't think its that.
Anyone got any thoughts, other than take it down to the quay and roll it into the sea?
