We used the Landy on a site last week knowing we had a high chance of getting stuck. Managed three loads of chip before finally bogging down, chipper too!

Some really nice landys here, im getting a hankering for a defender . However i have a disco td5 , faithful and trouble free old steed predominantly despite the reviews and general perception .

The thing is last week i got the water pump changed . For the first time since i got it i didnt use my usual mechanic since he was snowed under .

Since i got it back there seems to be a fairly bad oil leak , its blowing back onto the bumper etc .

I brought it back to him and he completely overfilled it and said he hadnt taken off anything that could leak oil (ie with a gasket)..

Is he telling me a porkie , or is this a genuine coincidence ?

Wouldnt mind only the water pump was perfect anyway !! .

Cheers Jon, we installed the newt fencing Agee months ago so should have avoided the softer areas. We managed to get a local jcb to pull us out.

Any Landy appreciators/experts shed some light on why my 300 puts out blue smoke but only when reversing?

 

I did get a mate to follow me down the road and it doesn't do it then except for a couple of seconds if its been stood for an hour or more.

Does it still have the egr fitted, best thing I did to mine was to remove it and blank it off
