trickydicky Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I left the defender (200tdi) running in lockdown for an hour a week to keep the battery topped up .it started to get a bit smelly so took it for a spin and a huge cloud of white smoke bellowed out of the back .it cleared after a mile or so it runs smooth and starts on the button .it hasn't lost any water and burns no oil .there's nothing from the oil filler cap .the turbo is in good shape .has anybody got any ideas ?is it possibly dirty injectors?

reb78 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Nothing to worry about IMO. Idling it like that never gets it properly hot and I think leaves unburnt fuel. Mine will do the same (especially if i forget theres veg oil in it and leave it idling whilst working round the fields). Take it for a good run and dont worry about it.

trickydicky Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 cheers reb78 I was hoping to go to Norway next year in it .I was thinking I may need to get the injectors tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Would be worth having the injectors refurbished, if the haven't been done for a long time, Ihad mine done while doing the engine rebuild 2 years ago, drives much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
