Stolen from interweb :

White smoke occurs when raw diesel comes through the exhaust completely intact and unburned. Some causes of this include

Faulty or damaged injectors
Incorrect injection timing (could be a worn timing gear or damaged crankshaft keyway).
Low cylinder compression (eg caused by leaking or broken valves, piston ring sticking, cylinder and/or ring wear, or cylinder glaze)
When white smoke occurs at cold start, and then disappears as the engine warms up, the most common causes are fouling deposits around piston rings and/or cylinder glazing. Use of our Flushing Oil Concentrate and FTC Decarbonizer address these respective problems.

Water entering combustion spaces will also create white smoke. Faulty head gaskets and cracked cylinder heads or blocks are a common cause of water entry, and are often to blame. Unfortunately, expensive mechanical repair is the only proper solution here.
 
it has to be unburnt fuel with the smell that comes with the smoke lol

tryed lots of injector cleaner, its not looking good for the old disco
 
changed the tank sender yesterday, hasnt helped at all when first started.

i sprayed some water on each of the exhaust manifolds before started, its not runing on number 1 when first started.

could the white/blue smoke still be injector problem, after using alot of treatment?
 
ok james thanks for the help, ill give it one more go and try get hold of a replacement injector and see if it helps. i fear it might be a compression issue

ok started the disco up this morning, running lumpy and smokey, one at a time i slackend each injector nut starting with 1, every time one nut was slackend the engine probaly ran worse, i didnt notice any improvement with smoke


edit: heres a quick vid, wasnt sure if spray from injector nuts were normal? i thought was difference between 1-3 and 2-4

with it running, on the back of the engine, run your hand along the rear of the head gasket and check for puffing.

i'm wondering if it's low compression on number 4 due to hgf. sometimes they go in that location.

might be worth getting a compression test done.
 
worth a try i guess, on number 1 at bulkhead? previous owner said head gasket was done couple year ago after timing belt snapped, he also said the head didnt need skimmed

cant get my hand properly between back of engine and bulkhead, it is abit oily in that area

the disco isnt overheating, no crap in water, it is using alittle water but thats driping from thermostat. heat comes from the heater etc.. ive never driven a land rover before this one, it seems to pull ok, even better when in 4th, it will do more than 80mph on a private road.
 
nope, i got a funny look from a local mechanic when i mentioned this. another whos said to be a good land rover mechanic said if i can hear a drop/difference in engine when i slacken injector nut then the injectors are working.
