  1. Yes it passed the MOT no problems. The blue smoke did clear after a short time but it is still there at first start. Ive decided its glazed bores and the smoke is oil burning when the pistons are cold. As they heat up the rings are expanding and no more oil is burned. I will have to hone and replace the rings a t some time. More worrying is the vibration from the transfer box. I may need to replace the output bearings. Thanks for your comments.
  2. Hi Gromit I considered valve stem seals or turbo seals. I agree, I need to take it for a run - but no MOT or Tax so will have to be 'Creative' Thanks
  3. Hi Im doing up a 1991 200TDI defender 90. Its been stood for a while and is not MOT'ed at mo. Its starts first cranck but is blowing out blue smoke when started and reved. After a few mins at idle is gets less, but if you rev it blows blue again. Ive changed oil, air and fuel filters. Fitted a new battery, put in new diesel (and tank) and changed glowplugs. I did a compresion test all came out at around 300. Checked breather and cleaned breather cyclone. Checked all hoses to Turbo, no splits. The Turbo has very little sidways movement and is not noisy but there was a little oil in air box between filter and turbo. Any ideas as to what I need to check next, or what it might be thats causing blue smoke? Hope someone can help so I can get my 90 MOT'ed and used. Paul R
