well..i did say not pretty :lol: under the plate on the drivers side is a gash of unknown size.. the previous owner figured plate was the way forward and decided to make both sides match.. plans are to get her up n mot'd first,then once the weather improves we'll take all the chequer off..i'm...

The new toys home.. not the prettiest thing in the world but its solid,runs n the missus loves it needs a bit o tinkering as no mot and we'd like to change the truck cab for a hardtop

thanks james..yep..just found it thro google.. got clouds of white ..is apparently timing..

Simple as that what colour smoke do you get if your overfuelling..

she's not overheating paul comes up to temp fine and holds there even over a 10 mile trip its just the white smoke local garage says fault code 8e and the fumes smell a bit diesely there's a tiny bit of endfloat in the turbo but it spins freely with no noise at all gonna try n check injectors...

right ..just back from garage..shows code 8e on reader so either crank position sensor (can't find one o them) or needle lift sensor on no4 injector if faulty runs on limp mode and can overfuel so anyone got a no4 injector i can scrounge :D

Right ..well..headgasket replaced...and..well still pumping white smoke out of the exhaust and still have "check engine" light on.. tho head seems ok..kinda getting stuck for idea's now :confused2:

i've the same problem on mine ..with the addition of clouds of white smoke.. buggered if i can suss it...:confused:

well..new here..so may as well start something:D poor lil girl lost power,dumped the contents of expansion tank on the road. checked her n had bubbles rising in tank.. first guess is headgasket. just spent 2hrs stripping her out..gasket don't look too bad..coupla dodgy bits but seen worse...

could we have some pics please
