Hi. I am a vehicle Mechanic in the British Army. I have been working on a Landrover Wold for the past couple of days. The landrover will not go above 50. The original fault was lacking power and the turbo had alot of freeplay so i changed the turbo. There was metal flakes coming out of the exhaust and there was black smoke. The black smoke has now gone after cleaning out the intercooler. All that is left to do now ( i think) is compression test the engine. Does anyone have any ideas or help? Thankyou

should I offer to send mine over to use, might pop a manual in the parcel as well
where are you ?
Sounds like they would do better, knowing the MOD they'd just bin it and get a new one!
Okay does in run evenly, can you here any slight chuffing noise from exhaust? I'm wondering if you have a split or burnt valve as lumps of metal do not just appear in exhaust unless it is rust from standing around.
Kind of noise but more noise from the engine almost as if the timing is out. I had the rocker cover of today and noticed some scratches on the inside just behind were the push rods are. Readjusted the tappets today. The metal was almost glitter like substance. We have changed intercoolers so i know its nothing to do with that. Its a diesel btw.
Cry me a river ya whinge bag

could be a blocked particulate filter if it has one. Has the fuel pump been retarded? Has the fuel sedimenter been emptied?
sounds like you want to pull it apart, metal shavings are a sign of something more serious occuring

If it's a loud tapping/knocking noise I would suspect that it's been overheated and that number 4 piston is fubared.
Right all ive come on here for is advice and its not exactly the end of the world to ask a question. Just because you think your some Landrover veteran guru, you do not have to twining away on a forum that is.... oh ye for asking questions. So if you have nothing constructive to say then dont say anything at all.

You're on a fast track to alienating yourself.
Walk back outside, pull on your rhino skin coat and then come back in again.
Ye, all of this has been done. going to compression test tomorrow as originally planned was just asking for ideas or knowledge. Thankyou
