Hopefully someone can help me with a problem with the 200 tdi Defender engine that I have installed in my Series IIa.
The engine starts first time and ticks over nicely. However, it won't do more than a fast tick over even with the throttle full opened - it just pumps clouds of white smoke out of the exhaust.
I suspected that the timing was wrong as I changed the cam belt before I fitted the engine, so I have just checked it. When the key in the crankshaft is aligned with the arrow on the case, the "dot" on the camshaft pulley is aligned with its arrow on the case and the timing pin fits through the injection pump. My only worry is that there is a "dot" on the injection pump pulley and an associated arrow on the case - however, these don't line up but aren't mentioned in any of the manuals or the posts on this forum. I am assuming the "dot" on the on the injection pump pulley can be ignored as the timing pin fits ok when all the other marks are lined up.
I had the engine hanging around for a few years before I fitted it and am wondering whether some dirt has got into it. I did remove a blockage from the fuel return.
Before I take the fuel injection pump to a Bosch service centre, has anyone got any other ideas ?
