Hi all, yes me again here is today's question / findings.
I managed to get some time to go and swap the injectors round, before I did I ran the engine again to see if anything had changed, the loosening of injector 3 still made no difference but loosening injector 4 did, as well as 1 & 2, so I removed injector 1 and 3 and swapped them around, I also changed the spill rail pipe as this was old and brittle, I starter her up again and redid the test it was exactly the same, I went through a sequence of undoing all the tops of the injectors one by one and only number 3 made no difference to the running of the engine apart from when I released it the smoke / steam died down, when i tightened it back up it started again, repeating this on the other injectors made no difference. (today the engine did seem to respond more and was not as lumpy).
I decided to go for a little run only a couple of miles, the smoke does die down when this is done as stated before, I could hear a knocking noise coming from the engine especially under load, I slowed down put it in to 4th and hit the gas the noise got louder, when I got back I tried it on the drive and went to move off in 3rd, the same again.
So now im back a step, and still wondering what is wrong I think a compression check will have to be done.
Does what I have said above reconfirm or change anyones thoughts
Mark - frustrated :(
Saffy:
Have you checked the tappets / valve clearance?
