Well when My Dodge blew a head gasket there was LOTS of stream from the tail pipe. (looked like an old steam locomotive) If you suspect you have a blown head gasket take it to a professional (like the DEALER) and have them look it over.
Hope This Helps.
if a diesel blows white smoke, it is a good indication of a blown head gasket you have coolant getting into cylanders being 89 model i figure it doesnt have a turbo if a turbo is installed it can be a bad turbo
Turbo Diesel 6 cyclinder
The manufacturer recommends that you change the oil in your Range Rover 220 Turbo diesel every 7500 miles. The oil should be changed at least once per year.
You could lose power if the exhaust manifold gasket has blown on a turbo equipped car because the turbo will not receive sufficient pressure. The turbo will produce less boost as it is powered directly by the exhaust gases.
The Range Rover 220 Turbo diesel cam belt should be changed every 60,000 miles. If you do not change the cam belt and have a problem the warranty may be void.
It wont stop starting, it will pump oil out of the turbo and discharge blue smoke.
Head gasket failure, timing belt slipped a notch, turbo shot, loss of compression.
Sounds like a blown head gasket. Most likely caused from overboost of turbo.
none
The modern technology available in the Land Rover Defender would include more modernized engines and transmissions, interiors. It has also added the turbo-diesel engine.
If the turbo is intercooled it may have a blown seal allowing coolant to pass into the intake flow. White smoke is usually an indication of a blown head gasket. Stop driving the car immediately until this is looked into. Serious engine damage will occur if th head gasket is blown. if is not the head gasket you are in for a cracked block or cylinder head $$$$$$ A blown seal in the turbo is a possibility. you could just be running to lean i blew white smoke when i used racing octane gas. also when i used octane booster of fuel injector cleaners. if it is consistent, probably head gasket.
2.5l diesel jeeps have a turbo.
