Re: new guy from bedfordshire!!

Re: new guy from bedfordshire!!
Definitely sounds like the engine... head gasket or something probably :(
Bluey-whitey smoke indicated that you have oil and water getting into the cylinders.....
... and the smoking dipstick...
Sorry I can't really help much more, not really that clued up on diesel engines, especially vauxhall ones!

Agreed. It looks busy in there.Darrell wrote:Blimey that engine bay looks full for an SJ
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: new guy from bedfordshire!!
Ha I like the bonnet bulge, I'd have thought the previous owner may have been better giving it a body lift instead!
I can't say I'm struck on your grill either - Sorry! Apart from that It looks like a tidy little motor and its nice to see a tin top, the majority of SJ's are soft top, Mine included! so its nice to see one with a proper roof, did you fit the bucket seats? some people swear by them, but I wouldn't fancy them for a long journey!
