Well hello, my dad has just bought an ex mod 110 defender station wagon to work on with me. I just wondered what we should do with it mechanically before doing everything else.
Right so its got 96,000 miles on it and is a 1996 300 Tdi, chassis looks in good nick and everything else is just a bit dirty, the corrosion on the doors is not bad either!
I would have said a cambelt change is a good idea, along with the engine oil! What else would you guys suggest ... Diff, transmission and gearbox oil?
Also theres a bit of black smoke on start up, I take it this is just unburnt diesel, could do with some injector cleaner in it ... or maybe a bit of vegetable oil (worked in my 306! ... yes both cars have the bosch pump!)
Any other maintance that you guys would reccomend?
