LD28T Specialist

Post by pmfaulkner »

Can any recommend a Diesel Turbo specialist either on the North Shore or Auckland familiar with Defender LD28's? Have an unburnt fuel issue! Much appreciated.

unburnt fuel means low compression.

time for some new rings or a bent rod.

Steady on there, before I pulled a motor down for blowing a bit of black smoke, I would be checking for intake blockage (air filter), turbo function if its an ld28t, injector pump adjustment, injector performance and valve adjustment.

fair enough call. but on the basis that diesel burns on compression the only other one to figure would be a bad valve which would be a pull down job anyway.

Alltech, dude. Wairau Road. Bloody good at that sort of thing and they have their own workshop which is not that common for a fuel specialist.

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!
