mbm Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Dear all, A friend of mine has bought an 1998 110 2.5TD. The engine runs smooth, and pulls like a charm. After servicing we have dropped in 6.5 litres of oil and the level in the dipstick is over the max line by 2". The level is reached with only 5 liters. Any suggestions on what look for? Quote
NUMHSKULL Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Hi had the same problem with mine. the tube that holds the dipstick is attached to the block with a union nut that compresses an olive around the tube. they have a nasty habit of coming loose allowing the tube to push too far into the sump causing a false high oil level readiing hope this helps...

western Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 same dipstick & tube as the Defender 200tdi, which also come loose & drops giving a incorrect dipstick reading, search for 200Tdi dipstick, I posted the LR Tech Bulletin in here ages ago. Quote
