Hello All!
I have a 2001 Discovery TD5 with 176,000 km on it.
I believe that it destroyed it's own cylinder head today. I'm just looking for confirmation that this is indeed the problem.
I drove the car around 40 mph and quite a bit of white smoke came out the back along with a knocking noise from the engine where for some reason the engine revved up by itself when I then shut it off.
Stopped, looked inside and found oil splattered about, but not really all that much.
I landed very fortunately on a family property and intend to go back shortly after the two of us have cooled off and check for oil in the coolant system and so on.
I concerned about this knocking sound it made... does that indicate serious damage to the cylinder wells?
Thanks all the same!
