Basically my 1987 td Defender has something wrong with it but i'm not sure what it is, so before forking out sending it to the garage i thought i would see if anyone knows what the problem is and the solution.
Here are the symptoms:
1. Noticeable lack of power and acceleration
2. Lots of white smoke when starting engine, hot or cold.(more so then usual)
3. Puffs of black smoke when accelerating.
4. Engine sounds muffled in a way. Not as meaty as it should be.
5. Major shuddering at around 35mph (bottom end of 4th gear) and some shuddering in 5th gear. It's not due to UJ's because I put brand new ones in 2 days ago.
6. When revving the engine it takes about 10 seconds for the revs to go back down to tick over level.
Any suggestions on this problem/problems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Oli.
