So I have some great news after hours of banging my head throwing spanners out.

Lots of advise from you guys and checks I finally got to the point of it must be the exchanged pump.

I called the diesel guy and asked him if he would rebuiled my original pump and take this one back which he did no questions asked.


I fitted it on the engine after putting it into timing position took the inspection cover off and aligned the A up with the circlip tighted it all down and blead the system.

3 cranks and she fired straight up and ran a treat also seemed to fix the smoking issue as well.


I'm now one happy man.


Thanks all for you help and advice.

Glad it’s sorted are you naming and shaming

I won't name and shame them because he has been very good and didn't question me after I explained everything I had checked, He also re-did an injector pop test as well and made sure he had not made a mistake.

There is still a bit of tweaking as I think there was a slight knocking from the pump so may need retarding a tad but I think that's just little tweak of the pump.


Thanks
Richard

Great news. I hope the pump I have in at the moment is a success. I’ve had similar problems to you after I refurbed the full engine. I never did find the sweet spot but found the pump leaking diesel (eventually).
Mine is in at Diesel Bobs in Blackburn.
