    Brand New 2.4 TDCI engine and guess what ?

    Surely if the timing was so far out that the pistons were hitting the valves there would be starting problems, smoke and diesel knock, fault codes ?? I want to be sure before I strip it down again to check timing !

    2.4 TDCI PUMA New engine advice ?

    Yeh ! We did think about an engine change ! TD5 etc …. I think it would be a shame to change the 2.4 puma lump because it is (was ) a good powerful lump !

    300 TDi Black smoke !

    Still not sorted this ! Checked everything so was wondering if the injection pump is in the right position and the flywheel when I check the timing could it be the cam sprocket that is out 1 tooth either way ? Obviously can't check with out stripping down and if so I will change cambelt water...

    300 TDi Black smoke !

    Thanks for your input ;-) Yes fully serviced all oils and filters ! It’s had a few “Italian tunes” and apparently the cylinder head and valves are new so I don’t think it’s a valve and when you take the oil filler plug off there is absolutely no block pressure . I do think it’s not as sweet...

    300 TDi Black smoke !

    Thanks for your reply . Max fuel screw ( smoke screw ) not been touched as it still has its anti tamper coller ! Living in rural France I have only checked the injector spray pattern with a very basic home made set up . Looks good and no holes blocked . Yes ! Will rev to the limit in every...

    Series 3 109 1/2 chassis !

    Ok Cheers mate . Having already priced up spring hangers, rear out riggers etc I just thought that a new 1/2 chassis would have been the way to go . Looks like it’s going to be a 1/4 chassis then and just cut out all the rotten bits and weld . Cheers Jason
