Hi Julian, thanks for your help ! The smoke I cannot figure out what it smells like :/ I stuck my nose under the exhaust and tried really hard but I really don't know , it smells but like what, I don't know , will ask someone that knows a bit about engine to help me out . The drip was...

Great , thanks for the info , so the one that can get damaged by the water would be the fuel injector pump ?

Ok , I was just hoping I was aiming at the wrong one

By the way , is that the oil drain plug ? Looks like it from the manual ? If yes , impossible to release it , I tried with a breaker bar and an impact driver , didn't move

I drained only from the fuel filter , I tbought of that too and pressed the pedal a bit , but to be honest it smoked SO much I had to stop, my entire street was full of smoke and couldn't see anything !

Ok , will do that tomorrow, I should have done it before filling it up ... Good to know , I will try to keep it up. Is there a way to check the injector pump ? Is injector pump and fuel pump the same thing ? Thanks guys for still helping so much , really

Ok, so would it be same principle ? would the water come out first ? I just went to the petrol station and filled a 10L can to fill it up today

I got the injector tested but could have it worn something else ?

I just got the car last month , I drove it back from birmingham and did less than 50 miles before that happened ! I am reading non stop but I am starting from pretty much 0 :/ and never owned a diesel before

Oh ok, I didn't know that , but anyway just by the smell it was obvious when the water stopped and the fuel started

Thanks for that

Yes I will next time , I didn't know , I thought all the piping/housing would be swapped. Well now I know. Yes definetly , a lot of water then fuel, It was more like yellowy colour and didn't smell anything , I even try to light it up with a lighter to make sure , then at some point, fuel ( much...

Ok, not sure when I'll do the test though .. Just tried to changed the fuel filter and started by draining water from the screw underneath , there was LOADS , then tried to change the filter but the "receiver" is not the same ... pic of the one on the car (left) and the one I ordered described...

But what about the water that I could have dropped in when I forgot to drain it before removing the head as turboman said ?

Alright cheers, so there's no actual drain plug ? I just let everything comes out of the actual filter ?

Ok , I just thought it was too full and could take some water together with the fuel . No, I am french but fully integrated and this landy is actually my first RHD :D Ok , I'll go right now grab this chain wrench and a bit more oil then , it doesn't matter if it is another brand as long as it is...

by the way , I only have 6L of oil , can I add the last half a litre of the old one :/ or is it a bad idea ?

ok , make sense, haha I am way passed worries now , I am crying ! I am going to try to change the filters now , just read about fuel filter with a little screw underneath to empty the water , could it be as simple as that ? EDIT : Ive got air/fuel and oil filters but I doubt the air will work...

I missed that :/

Thanks again for your time Flossie, no I didn't :S, I just empty the coolant from the bottom of the rad, I have got all the filters , I just wanted to solve the problem before fitting them , will do as soon as it stop raining then. Ok, the glowplugs I just did one by one thinking that if I...
