    Oil in air intake

    Right so I bought the Disco, gave it a general service and found that oil was passing the cyclone breather, and depositing into the air intake. And thus oil was passing into the turbo impeller, I spent a good amount of time cleaning oil out of the turbo hoses, intercooler etc. I assumed it...

    Intercooler

    I have a 200td1. Now just asking whether I am right in saying that oil around the intercooler hoses with no obvious source (Turbo not leaking) could be evidence of the Intercooler needing cleaning. Now said oily substance may be due to the cyclone breather thingy being blocked? (maybe) Am i...
