Yes, that can be an issue. A lot of online parts places now classify Ninety/One Ten parts under defender. Further confusion can be caused by the many Tdi conversions.Haha that clarifies it.... Now I search for LandRover 90 gaskets I suddenly have a wealth of options!
First Blackstrat, now yu! What is this, the Pedants Rebellion!no - not 90 - its Ninety!!
I think he may have taken the head off now anyway! But I certainly wouldn't run that until the fault has been diagnosed and repaired. Embarrasing, apart from potential to do damage!I would avoid running it any more, particularly if the breather is routed into the manifold, as is normal on the 2.5d. You could end up with a runaway engine, which will destroy it. I always use Famous four for gaskets, all the ones sent so far have been good quality.

I could see that now!
Vid with rocker cover off is very helpful. Looking at that, looks like engine breather is routed into air intake, that will have ruined your air filter. If the gasket is the issue, and you sort it, try and route the breather out of the air intake, or at least put a catch can or oil separator in the line first.
When you have sorted the gasket, or piston or whatever, attach a catch can at the bottom of the bulkhead, route the pipe from the breather to it, and then to the intake. Your air filter will love yu for it! And you will drastically reduce the likelihood of diesel runaway!Can't finish taking it apart til after work tonight..
The pipe from the filler cap did indeed connect to the air intake, and yes you are quite right the air filer was removed cos it was clogged solid. I disconnected the pipes just to show the amount of black smoke being chucked out
Absolute nonsense. Have you ever had a 19J, or taken one apart?
He has most likely got a blown head gasket! They are common.
Early engines had issues with cracked pistons, sometimes cracked heads and blocks due to localised heating in engine. Rare to see it now, except in an engine that is poorly maintained, thrashed to buggery, or was extremely worn anyway.
Working fine for me, thanks!no, the 19j's WERE actually awful engines. Putting a turbo on an engine that cannot support it, is a bad idea. It was, and still is.
@Hippo That old chestnut againBut nowadays the issues are mostly caused by poor maintenance.
@Hippo?@Hippo That old chestnut again
Sometimes ya win, sometimes ya lose!Service ma hippo regular but it still plays up.
hgf on tratters anorl. Not good.
Sometimes ya win, sometimes ya lose!
But overall, I have noticed that well maintained vehicles break down less than neglected ones.
2.5td, and na quite often blow gaskets into the pushrod chambers. No personal experience, but I think Tdi are similar. Luckily the gasket is cheap, and not too bad a job to change.
Hoping OP will report on the gasket soon, and that in this case the pistons and head remain intact.
Sorry to hear that. If you mean head bolts, you may be able to turn the broken bits with grips when you have removed the head.Guys I'm having a nightmare...
Snapped off three bolts now and still going. Trying to remove the turbo although I don't appear to have to remove it completely it's got to be that or the pipe coming out from the top of the turbo vertically. Everything rusted solid and I've just finished throwing spanners round the garden....
