2.4 Tdci on its last leg ?

Good evening, long time since I've used this forum, guess to busy fixing Landys of all sorts.

One of my customers got me this nutcase to sort out for a x-mas present

Anyone with the same engine noise out there

Defender 2007, stock standard, 214 000km
Oil pressure ok, crank case pressure ok, slightly more pressure in coolant system than others
Serviced regularly

Can't wait to hear what others think

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Santorini Black

Sounds like split hoses or something leaking somewhere?

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

Sounds to me like someone has replaced the TDCi with an 8-cylinder Gardner!

Thanks scoobeenut

But no cracked hoses or external leaks.

Anyone had a blown head gasket between bores on a 2.4, just crossed my mind

Black wolf, it does sound a bit like a Gardner, but not as solid

If a engine conversion ISUZU. 4bdt1t for me.

There was a post on here reference a potential egr cooler leak allowing the coolant to pressurize?

Ickle thanks, but a leaking EGR cooler wouldn't be responsible for this unhealthy noise

Here is another little clip

had a bit of a look see this evening,

injectors leak off test, runs with the comp hooked up

injectors out

endoskop showed lovley looking pistons. bores. spray pattern and valves, expected a lot worse with this milage

Valve cover off

this could be the answer or at least one of them

this little clip shows exhaust valve Nr. 3
cam lob and follower. hard facing worn off, follower out of round

nice evening to all of you, thanks for all your inputs
