Hello - I have a series 2a. It was running fine and has been for the last year, it went under powered and sounded awful. I limped home and now it wont start. It will crank over and there is lots of white smoke. I cranked off all the injectors and there is fuel, I have bled to see if it is air and I have tested the glow plugs. Can anyone help? Thanks

Compression test maybe next.
I did look !
Actually I was thinking that I tested the glow plugs individually I didn't check them in the engine so perhaps that next and then compression check.

Was there any white smoke when you limped home, head gasket?
maybe a timing check, did it rev ok when driving or stationary

Thanks Steve, yes there was white smoke - not loads but some. Today I checked out the voltage of the glow plug circuit and that all seems fine. In the Haynes I saw this
Is this the timing you are talking about ? Because mine doesn't line up like that
It's not the best photo - but mine is off to the right. Should I line it up ? Thanks and Merry Christmas one and all !
