Was wondering if anyone might have a good idea what is causing my defender 90 300tdi to blue smoke??
I'll try and describe it best I can!
So upon starting she starts first time perfectly, but has a slight misfire and when I rev I get quite a bit of blue smoke.
After 1-2 mins of driving or once she's warmed up a little the misfire seems to disappear and engine runs lovley and the smoke seems less if not all stopped.
Unless I rev hard then I get the smoke again, or (bear with me on this description lol) while driving say in 3rd going down hill, using the accelerator slightly again I get the smoke.
I've recently serviced her , inc glow plugs.
Tried some redex diesel treatment.
Been told it could be the turbo, valve stem seals, or piston rings.
I know this could be trail and error for me but was hoping someone may have come across this or something similar and save me a load of grief!
Thinking of putting a new timing belt kit on, then at least I can rule out the timing.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Just wanting to get her right before I try a little off roading !![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
