Have you got a compression tester of any kind? Sounds daft I know but wont cost you anything to try it.

if I were you I'd put the output of the tank to where the original breather pipe went because the smell of oil vapour is horrible especially on a long run, the catch tank should still slow the sludging process right down.

My guess, I'm sorry to say, either whoever fitted the gasket didn't do it well or your heads cracked or warped, have you noticed what the smoke smells like? Would you say it smells a bit like burnt antifreeze? What I thinks hapening for what it's worth; either the temperature's opening a crack...

I reckon buckshot should do a matching one the other side for the exhaust with a little rain flappy thing on top! ;)

I'd agree, sounds like blocked inlet somewhere so drawing air from wherever it can, would also explain it using oil, I don't know much about this engine but, if we're right, I think you'll find a load of oil in the inlet manifold if you take stuff off so you can see in there. Then, with the...

BOLLOX!!! Got pulled by vosa in the lorry today, I didn't have my paper tachographs with me so walked away with a wallet that's £200 lighter :mad: fookin £200 notes just for forgetting 5 bits of paper!! Sooo, think that might be me out of this one guys :doh: I'll know for sure in the next...

cool, never thought of that, handy things them jacks!

It's your age........... Sure it's not a lefthand thread? Big socket, long bar, longer lump of steel tube over that, if the socket tries to slip off the nut try putting an axle stand under it! If it's like the ones on a disco 1, drill a hole through the side of the nut (paralell with...

Lol, didn't think you did ryder - I've not been there but I'd guess if it's like a desert it could be tricky working out which is the official track to follow. Most of the places I've mentioned sofar would be a bit far north for you really anyway. I've just seen nott's council's website for...

lucky bugger lol, mine's a 1998 R 300tdi and I paid the same for it with a blown head gasket! Mind you, mine's manual

If you've not heard of it there's a place they call the desert in mansfield, iirc there's a lane runs through it but you're in the poo if you stray; last I heard they were putting cameras in trees! Just a word to the wise....

Around worksop area (worksop, retford, ollerton etc) as far as I know none have been closed for the last year. I spoke to the nott's glass rep last year about a few lanes out that way and to quote him "As a general rule, as long as they're sign posted you're alright - nott's are quite good...

more air than required = pressure build (just to play devil's advocate!) Think I read somewhere the "proper" place to measure is the small pipe at the turbo (the one to the actuator I think) but the best place is at the manifold but I can't remember the reasoning. I.m.o, if you've tweaked...

Lol, fair enough - was only an idea really. R.e. the diff guard, when I wrote the o.p. I wasn't at home but wanted to see if I could find some big pipe clamps to alter but I've had a new idea after seeing some diff guards on ebay; they were held on by the bolts in the diff itself so that...

90boy - I'd be up for that, if I keep the disco. Used to live in cwmbran. Thanks for sharing the pic's, looks like a good day out. Couple of questions; The plastic arches on the light blue disco - pro's and con's over defender type arches? Would defender arches stop more mud getting on...

ah was more a joke than anything mate, just means I'm a bit shorter on time to get it m.o.t'd.

Know anyone selling dodgy m.o.t's? :D Snowed under with work for the next couple of weeks. Been down to blandford forum in the lorry yesterday and last night, went salisbury way - I need to get down there in the disco :eek: there's byways everywhere! Ones that are obviously well used too:rolleyes:

actually, I think you're in luck - Think there's 5 interested and we've come to the conclusion to keep it to one group of 6 I've had a quick look and looks like you're no.6, keep an eye on here and we'll confirm it all a couple of weeks before the date.
