Cheers Pos, so I am paranoid after all, it just seems like one thing after another just recently and am expecting something to be wrong.

Thanks Bushtoy, Its just strange that I've not noticed before, as having spent loads on new lump etc I've constantly been checking temp, oil level, water level and whats being chucked out the rear pipe. Its done about 1k so I'm still checking (you do don't you?) Cheers, Vic

Yeah, I know what you mean about being paranoid, but I do the same journey at the same time day in and day out, I would have thought I would have noticed before it it had been doing this for a while. Thanks badadj

Morning all, Whilst driving home last night (on motorway) I noticed that when I accelerated from about 50mph there was a constant flow of smoke comming from the exhaust (in headlights of car behind) when I eased off all was ok. I dont know the colour of the smoke but seemed to disperse quickly...

Hi all, has anyone got a clue where I can purchase a set of fitted rubber matts (over gearbox tunnel etc) for a 2.5 TD 1987? I dont want new as these are about £160 which is about the same value as my 90. I have checked flea bay for the last month or so and have seen nothing. Has anyone got some...

I had exactly the same problem, after days of pulling my hair out, it turned out the **** who who had my 90 before me had had an alarm fitted, then consiquently stripped it out leaving the relay disconnected, during driving and normal vibrations the two halves of the connection had made there...

Hi Disco, to be honest I don't know- I ordered them from Paddock for my vehicle, but wether they sent the correct ones I don't know. Vic

Thanks for that guys. Its just that I find it hard to accept that after all the work that has been done that the start-up smoking is now worse than before. but thats Landies for you. Vic

Hi Charles Y, thanks for that, New short block just fitted, cylinder head pressure tested and re fitted, new Injectors, new glow plugs, new fuel filter. always depress clutch, heater plugs for about 20 seconds and do not touch throttle until engine fires. It starts easily enough, but smokes...

Can anyone please advise me, I'm pretty sure the injector pump cold start on my '87 90 2.5TD has packed up. Is this thing changable (if it is where is it and what does it look like) or is it part of the pump itself and I need to change the complete unit. Cheers
