Dunno about these engines, but one of the common probs is usually valve stems seals

Rip it out and put a V8 in :twisted:

that would be an option if i could find a carbed model cheap enough,mine still has ten months mot and four months tax too good to scrap i guess

What colour is the smoke ?

Could be something as simple as timing.

deinately black!!!!!!have had injectors pressure tested now and been told two are duff so having new nozzles fitted .hope that cures it.can the timing move on a vm if so how do i check this???????????????

The injectors will help if the spray pattern is not working the fuel is just basically dripping into the chambers instead of a mist

Its not as much as the timing can move, on belted systems a worn belt will off set the timing, although I think the vm has a chain drive, more reliable

The thing might be a worn pump itself. Depending on the fuel and use of the pump will make a difference, not as common though.

See if it improves with the injectors before plunging down another path
