Deep wading problem

(1/3) > >>

Blue72:
Went out last night with my mate and went through a deep ford. anyhow to cut a long story short, his Defender was chucking white smoke out all the way home ( about 10 miles). and is still this morning. Does thsi happen often and is their a quck remedy?

ChrisW70:
Looking at the video and reading the symptoms sounds like a possibility of having pulled some water into the engine and either blowing the head gasket or bending a conrod, whats the tick-over like, lumpy or ok?

Blue72:
Hi Chris,
it ticks over fine and drives normally???
hope he hasnt broke it again..only hust fixed the rear axle! :)

Cheers

Blue72:
it seems like it is the con rod but how the water got in not too sure?

Blue72:
now been told possibly not con rod so we are dropping the sump tonight and checking for anything obvious like water in the intercooler too.
If no good then will get the bits for a con rod change..

so whaty do we need aside from the obvious con rod and sump gasket? and how do you tell which ( if any) con rod has bent slightly?

Cheers

Andy
