Okay so looking at your you have the same setup as me I think it must be the butterly config as it's a brand new servo and pipes seems to be know leaks so I will keep playing with adjustment. Many thanks I will update in a day or two with my finding it find tonight that if I touch the throttle...

Hi all So I adjusted the butterfly and managed to stop the smoke on idle. I did this by sitting at idle and just opening the butterfly until it stopped. :). Now the next question is I had the issue before I adjusted the butterfly which I put down to a faulty servo. I have now fitted a new...

I have disconnected the control rod to the butterfly tonight and fully opened and there is a noticeable deference in smoke straight away. I'm now going to wait until the weekend and have a little play about and see how it goes. I will report back after the weekend. Thanks Richard

after checking its looks to be pointing to the linkage adjuster

It's just the page seems to be showing the clearance I'm just assuming that's 18 thow as 18mm would be alot

Thats great thanks is it referring to 18 thow of clearance on the butterfly before the pump kicks in?

The smoke is a white ish blue but very faint blue does smell of diesel. I have tried the pump and seem to make no difference. I have spoken to the diesel guy who did the pump and injectors and he said head gasket or exhaust valve but I'm holding off pulling the head until I get some more...

Hi All it's me again so I have the series 3 up and running but I have a strange issue which I would like some advice on. When you start the truck it starts with the first crank and runs very well, but as the trucks start to warm up I notice the smoke isn't clearing and seems to get worst but...

So I have replaced the full clutch and bearings with a LOF clutch kit and everything seems to be working as expected just want to check the adjustment now. I think the previous owner had installed a new clutch incorrectly as the clutch fork wasn't clipped and the bearing wasn't attached to the...

if you mean the little washer part on the ball shaft it was attached to the ball shaft but looked like it had come off the arm as the arm come straight out when I removed the gearbox, I also forgot to mention that the release bearing had melted together and there was no pin on the arm to the...

So I have pulled the gearbox and found the Clutch Fork had come off its ball joint I assume this would have been caused by an incorrectly adjusted Master cylinder? Many Thanks Richard

The pedal is solid and won't move down at all. but if I undo the bleed the pedal operates.

Good Morning all I finally got the old girl running and took her for a maiden voyage on Saturday and she ran a treat. Sunday I thought I would take her out on another run I got about 1 mile from home stopped at the traffic lights and when I went to put the truck back in gear the clutch pedal...

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 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...

Hi Bob I live in Boston Lincolnshire, that's an interesting comment as I did ask the diesel guy and he said they was set a fraction higher then the book as he said in his experience they run better like that. I didn't question as he knows more then me. Thanks Richard

Would the injector and pump exchange affected this as prior to the pump exchange it did start off the key. How much fuel should come out the injector pumps as if I crank it over I only get a very very small amount littrely a dripping at best.

Yeah I thought about that yesterday so disconnected the inlet on the pump and cranked the engine and it pored out in to the cup. Thanks Ric

Ok so today I check all valve clearance and adjusted but to be fair it was a NATS hair of adjustment,. Then I set the engine to compression stroke on number 1 and the flywheel to 13 degrees and refitted pump the little pump shaft notch out was at 180 and the master spline was at 20 degress. Sat...

Not checked the spary pattern as I have just had them all refurbed along with the pump. I'm sure the no smoke out the exhaust when it's cranking is part of the issue as before the pump and injectors where done it puffed blue smoke as it was cranking abit. Only reason I had the pump done was...
