Guys - Hope you can offer some advice, what next!
Recently changed my valve stem seals as was smoking when coasting, managed to do it with the head on, took out the old ones and put on the new, reset valve gaps.
Now it constantly seems to blow smoke even when warm and idling, seems more obvious on low revs, driving down the road and there's a big cloud of blue smoke, only when throttle applied. Seems less obvious at 40+ but that could be just the fact i'm going too fast to see it. Could i have not seated the valves seals correctly?
I did notice a diesel leak on my leak off pipe which was quite bad, have just repaired that, don't think it's connected to the blue smoke. Otherwise it seems to run fine, plenty of power, doesn't get bogged down or anything. Have taken intercooler pipes off, doesn't seem to be excessive oil there, had a play with the turbo, some movement, at most 1mm either side.
Am possibly thinking piston rings? Next step is probably to do a compression test?
Am in Leeds, if there happens to be any 200tdi experts close to me who may be able to give me a hand, my first defender so not too clued up on them.
