    Constant plume of black smoke

    1990 Defender110 ex mod. Seems kinda weird, i drive in 4th gear prior to shifting to 5th and little to no smoke, shift to 5th gear and a constant plume of black smoke. Runs fine, holds 60mph when i am on long trips. Thinking dont worry about it or see if it’s something i need to address.

    Temp Gauge question

    So the issue got worse today on the interstate, only had to drive 15 miles to the local nursery and the temp gauge kept rising. Never hit the red zone but was all the way to the right (against the white). Temps here in Minnesota hit the 90's (shocking) so it was a hot day. Regardless i got...

    Temp Gauge question

    Drivng a 1990 110 ex mod 2.5NA diesel that i picked up last year, What ive noticed is the gauge inches up some when running at 60-65 but doesnt go into the red. If i am driving around town in the 45-50mph range the needle sits square in the middle. This typical for a 2.5na or am i just being...
