youngengineer Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) I have a friend with a 2015 defender. It's a 110 and I believe it has either the 2.2 or 2.4tdci. I know very little about these engines other then that they are made by ford? Recently on a long trip the vehicle suddenly died on the motorway. From what I heard, it lost power and he coasted to a halt. He had it towed back, we tried to crank it over and it seems like it's cranking a little faster then usual but otherwise no start. No oil in coolant but worryingly there is nothing on the dipstick. Not a drop. No leaks around the engine or under the vehicle. He mentioned that his sister took the vehicle up to Scotland (1000miles) and checked the oil before leaving. Could it be possible that the vehicle burnt half a dipsticks worth of oil in 1000miles? Anything obvious I should check? Do these engines have some kind of low oil shutoff switch?. Edited March 16, 2022 by youngengineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I would start by putting some oil in before you crank it further...... Really need to get it on a code reader before you do anything else. Could be something simple like crank/cam sensor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngengineer Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've been told he put 4L in and that took it to half way up the dipstick.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Think they take about 9l so something feels very wrong if the level really was correct before. You would see that amount of oil being burnt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
