could this be a sign that the piston rings are shot

thanks guys it is engine oil and i have checked the run off pipes it must be coming up the injector, i didn't think there was supposed to be oil in there.

hi steve thanks for the quick reply i checked and it is defo engine oil

hi all could anybody offer an explanation as to what is causing oil to be running out from the injectors, i first thought it was from the rocker cover gasket but looking closer it is coming from the injectors many thanks

just a quick update i have checked all the hoses this morning and they are all clear and they don't crush under load, has any body else got any suggestions. thanks paul

sorry mate i should have said it is a 19j ie 2.5td, i will have a look at the hoses tomorrow paul

hi mate nobody has messed about with the pump well not that i am aware of anyway, and the air filter is brand new it was fitted last week to try a fix the problem, does this meen that my pump is knackered. paul

hi all i have noticed the last few weeks that there has been a lot of black smoke coming from the exhaust but mostly when going up hill, but the last two days it seems to be constant as long as i am accelerating. any ideas what could be the cause and possible cures many thanks in advance paul

i would but with out thinking i threw it in the box with the old pas box that the courier took away

hi all i need a new nut that goes on the output shaft of a six bolt pas box as mine split when i took it off and the new box did not come with one, i can't find one locally at a realistic price (quoted £15.28 +vat at local 4x4 centre} i was wondering if anyone knew the thread size so i could try enginneering places. thanks flocks

Cheers for the info so far I think I will go for 3mm plate and have it bent to match original to keep weight down a bit. flocks

hi all the landy needs a new x cross member and i am planning on making my own but was wondering what wall thinkness it should be. i spoke to a steel stock holder today and the thinnest they have in stock is 5mm wall, this seems a bit thick and heavy to me, it weighs something like 25kgs for the length required. any help would be great many thanks flocks

hi mate i used to be a locksmith and if you go to or ring up your local auto locksmith he can cut a new key for you using the code stamped on the key head. good luck

hi all i picked up my diaphragm kit today and is a bag full of copper washers and rubber o rings and a few other parts to be honest i haven't got a clue where half of them go does anyone have a strip down diagram/exploded view of this part of the pump to help me reassemble mine many thanks paul

dave thanks for your your very kind offer but after spending most of the day on the phone i have managed to track one down locally i was told it is only available as a kit and the cost is £28.00 incl vat does this seem about right i am hoping to sort it tomorrow will keep you all posted
