i replaced my turbo with a second hand one from a breakers yard 2 months ago, cost me £75 now the damn thing has blown again, thick white smoke and dripping oil from the exhaust, im in a bit of a pickle now that i need the car for work, if i cant get to work i dont earn cash, with christmas...

posted this in disco section but no answers, so thought i would try in here its a 300tdi disco 1, that is now virtually undriveable because the smoke behind me is unbelievable, you cant see for 300yrds and more, takes ages to clear too had numerous issues with this car i thought it might have...

300tdi disco had numerous issues with this car i thought it might have been a number of issues relating to one problem, however i seem to be solving one issue at a time, so far, i have had the block rebored and rehoned all the shells replace, all the seals on the block done, changed oil pump...

when i start from cold, it is very diffiecult to turn engine over, almost like it has a flat battery, ive had 2 batteries in the last 3 months, they charge fine, but within a couple of days they down on power again, when it eventually starts the engine runs rough and smokes like hell until its...

could oil at low on the dipstick cause a a drop in oil pressure when the engine is hot?

ok after weeks of diagnostics, its finally clear that i have a bent valve, maybe 2, ive basically run out of money, i have a 3 hole head gasket, and have just brought a second hand head that requires a 2 hole gasket, what are the implications of using the 3 hole gasket i have? what will it do...

im at my wits end for ages i have had a squeaking noise coming from my engine bay when it is cold, also blowing grey smoke until it is warm, also down on power, thinking it was the engine (had done 200k miles) i fully refurbished the engine, guess what i still have squeaking noise, even worse...

i have this issue going in another tread, but i am starting a new one with a more appropriate title, so i rebuilt my engine, changing every bearing, seal and oil system as i had low oil pressure problems, (which were caused by the oil squirt pressure relief valves), since rebuilt i have had to...

Having refirbished my engine with new cam and crank bearings, new seals and a whole host of other parts, it runs, set timing up twice now, the first time i after breaking it in, it got lumpy and starting tapping after 1500 revs plus, so started from scratch again, set crank to TDC, cam to the...

ok my engine build is coming to an end, my next annoying issue is the front foot wells, both are damp, the passenger side more so, i had a windscreen fitted last year and the common holes around the windscreen were repaired, all the lower welding done and seam sealed (everything below dashboard...

Ok guys, back again, i know how to do the usual timing, ie locking the fuel pump, finding TDC, locking flywheel etc, but during my engine refurbishment my brother undid the 3 10mm bolts on the Cam pulley whilst i wasnt looking, he then questioned if he should have undone them at which i...

ok im rebuilding my engine, first time on a disco, i know the basics but turn to forums for advice from time to time, anyways, i got my block back today from getting rebored and rehoned, i have fitted new piston rings and refitted pistons, i was just cleaning up some of the bolts, and came...

Ok cant afford to replace my engine, probably just about afford to repair it, but here goes, i have posted on this same problem before, and i think im edging closer to a diagnosis. conducted a compression test today whilst engine still warm. in piston 1 (closest to rad) reading was 413 psi in...

i posted a couple of days ago, but im still confused as hell. dec last year my head gasket went, it was blowing compression on Number 4 cylinder, gasket was replaced about 4 weeks later. immediately after when the engine was worked hard by towing or long runs, when i would idle the oil light...

300TDi Disco, 205k miles. bit of a long winded one this, i think i have a diagnosis but seeking confirmation of this or some general advice. currently i have smoking on start up, this lasts until the engine is warmed up, the smoke is blue/white, once warmed up no smoke, but then if i load the...
