Thought I would come visiting. Went to see a k reg 200tdi thats been laid up for poss 6 monthsish. When started there was a fair bit of black sooty smoke. The rear half of the exhaust is in the boot.
Now
Im Thinking as it started on the button it was just soot build up (so not a problem) other opinions are always great.

Its a landrover………….

Fuel pump needs adjusting...or not...depending on whether it smokes under acceleration or just a start up.

yes it needs adjusting to give more oommph and more smoke

But if it has been standing for a long time without running wouldn`t it be smokey for a
while?

storm99 · Apr 25, 2012

Hers an idea...throw a gallon of diesel in, go for a 20 mile jolly and see if it still smokes either under acceleration or at start up,

See you in an hour.
