  1. Hi, The LRworkshop.com site says I should be looking for STC2852 - but cannot find these for sale. I would appreciate any help finding the right part number and any recommendation on brand. Thank you!
  2. Also - the adjustment was to the timing belt.... Thank you.
  3. Thank you to for continuing the conversation. Yes, the smoke is blue and I am currently happy with the reduced smoke following the timing adjustment. I will ask the garage to check the valve stem seals and valve guides and advise in a few weeks.
  4. Thank you. The engine does not use any oil. After fixing the timing, the amount of blue smoke at start up is small compared to what it was and I can now accelerate rather then needing to wait 30-60 secs. The blue smoke has all but stopped after the first few minutes. I will follow through on your suggestions.
  5. Hi, The blue smoke got worse, enveloping the car during start up. This improved over time as the engine warmed, but the smell of oil/diesel remained. The main dealer recommended and fitted a new turbo charger and then new injectors. But the smoke persisted. So, I took it to a small local garage for diagnosis, rather than part replacement. They listened and then adjusted the timing belt, (which had also been replaced by the main dealer). The result is that the smoke seems to have reduced substantially, except for a little amount when the engine is started....
  6. Thank you for your replies! I'll advise the answer when found! Julian
  7. Hi, I have lost power to the horn, 'full beam headlight flash', clock, interior light and radio. The main dealer garage advises that the fuse(s) keeps blowing... Does anyone have any advice or an electrical diagram to help them and me? Thank you for your help!
  8. Hi, blue smoke is pouring out of my exhaust for about 1-2 minutes when I start the engine from cold. During this time, the engine is not responsive to the accelerator being pressed. The vehicle also seems to rock from side to side. A couple of minutes later, the smoke disappears and normal power resumes and rocking stops. Any advice appreciated! Thank you. Julian
  9. Thanks Ralph - just before I buy, I also notice that there are Land Rover Genuine Parts (ERR3339GEN) for a lot more money? Are there 2 factory fits? The Bosch and also the Land Rover?
  10. Thank you! Are these injectors any good? Are their better ones?
  11. Does anyone have experience of these? Thank you in in advance. Julian ('96 Defender 300 Tdi - 23L)
