Hello landrover world,
I now own a 1989 2.5TD 19J 90 that I love, she ticks over like an old tractor and I'm very pleased.
25k miles on the clock so the engine isn't worn out.
I have some questions:-
On start up, she miss fires a few times then clears (Puffs of white smoke), once initial few misfires its all fine just the few seconds after start up - is this a failed glow plug?
another issue is a bit of black smoke whilst driving, i'm not expecting no smoke at all but would like to know if I can reduce it:-
if you rev the engine out of gear you get a bit of smoke - normal?
when you change gear you get a bit of black smoke and if the engine is struggling the black smoke appears again.
If you drive gently and take your time there isn't really much smoke.
is the smoke just all part of the fun or could I reduce this a bit?
Many Thanks
Nick
