Defender 1998 90 TD5 oil level increases

andy99 · Jan 12, 2009

Hello all, new to this forum.

We've just bought a Defender TD5 with a rising oil level problem.

Suggestion is its a injector problem.

Anyone experienced this problem before?

Cheers
Andy

Thanks for that....

I did do a search but just wondered if anyone had anymore to add and to get my first posting.

Plan to swap on injector at a time and see if it fix's it. Only worry if it's not an injector and needs a new head or something.

Cheers

It'll either be the injector seals/copper washers or injector rail in the head cracked. Change all the injector seals first. If this doesn't then start looking for a new head.

'Zactly the same prob I had and it was cylinder head.
Get it sorted before you cook your turbo like wot I did.

Thanks for the replies.

O rings have already been replaced, try one injector at a time first. Then look at the head! Lets hope its an injector.
