Thanks Madmustand. It seems to be a whitish blue smoke. Once it is warmed up it still smokes when it is revved. I have had a friend come around this evening with his computer. He said it is diesel knock which I thought it was. A screen shot I was sent shows a Data Stream page with each cylinder...

I bought my 52 Plate TD4 about a year ago and still have not got it on the road. The biggest problem is a knocking noise coming from what sounds like the top of the drivers side. I replaced the rocker cover gasket and checked the cams which look alright. I thought I had found the problem when I...

You will need to use a wet extraction cleaning method to get the best results. This would involve applying a cleaning solution, giving it a while to start to work then using water with a neutralizing chemical to extract the dirt and cleaning chemicals. Its ok using rented cleaning machines but...

Thank you for your help. First of a few problems i need to sort out.

I will check to see if the previous owner has the receipt as i might be able to take it back as its only done about 50 mile since it was fitted. I didn't think of looking at this as it was a Landrover garage that fitted it. Charged the previous own over £300 to fit it. At least its pretty...

Thanks Mike. After reading some posts on here it did get me thinking it could be something to do with the new injector that has been fitted. Asked the previous owner about this and they said it was changed as it wouldn't start properly. The injectors are not blowing and there is no soot up the...

Hi. I bought my 02 plate TD4 a few months ago. Not driven it yet as i knew it had a few jobs that needed doing. One of which is a knocking coming from the top of the engine on the drivers side. This increases and decreases with the engine speed. At first i thought it might be the cam shaft but...

Hi. Just a quick question on this subject. I have a knocking noise coming from the top, left hand side of the engine on my 02 plate TD4. Would the crankshaft damper cause a knocking noise? I thought it would sound more like a bearing rumble if it was the crankshaft damper? The noise increases...
