Another suspect joins the landyzone

Hi all,
Just joined and looking at the forum for some answers, so hope someone can help me here. I have a 2005 Td4 auto and although it has covered 180k it does not look older than a motor at say 50k. It has obviously had a couple of careful owners judging by the service history I have with it. So I have done the following just so I know its been done, replaced crankcase breather, air filter, oil filter and the oil. I have given the ERG valve the elbow and fitted one of them stainless steel jobbies. All the jubilee clips are tight and hoses look and feel in very good condition. I have added some injection cleaner to the fuel tank, Millers I think, but have a problem. The engine starts really well, but after 2/3 mins of tick over, produces white smoke that smells more like paraffin than diesel, anyway its obviously unburnt fuel. The smoke gets progressively worse and does not clear, even if I give the engine a boot full! From tickover at 750rpm, I have steadily increased the revs to 1500 and although every cylinder sounds like it is firing ok, there is a distinctive miss and this is noticeable in the exhaust note. Any suggestions please guys.

Hi,
Probably best to search in the freelander section for the info. Welcome.

hello mate wot he sed^^^^

This is an update to assist those with similar problems that I have had. Firstly there should be NO leak back from the injectors when the ignition is turned on! Mine had a dribble from number 3 which a local Bosch agent said was acceptable, when it definatley was not. I replaced the offending injector which cured leak back, fuel railed pressurised and engine started ok. But there was still a miss fire and smelly smoke. On stripping the thing down again and really having a good look, I found an additional copper washer in number 2 injection hole? After removing it, replacing injector and firing up without the manifold on...yes the engine runs ok without it for testing purposes, hey presto I have a sweet running Td4 engine again.
Thanks for all the assistance and advise previoulsy sort and given guys.
