recently changed my engine, serviced it bypassed fuel sediments cant see any leaks any where, im getting about 50 miles to 20 quid if that :/ so im using 20quid a day just to go to work which is half my bloomin days wages, it has a straight through exhaust with 1 aftermarket box in the middle, ummm has a few bits and bobs on it but nothing thats causing it to dragg like a roof rack, and its got standard size tyres, any help much appreciated

I work that out to be 10 MPG on a 300tdi? ouch.
what's it start up and drive like? power like? much smoke? service include checking valve clearances? Anti tamper tell tales still intact on injection pump?
-
that aint good ollie mines better than that with all the winch and stuff i carry around and large tyres like saffy said has the pump been turned up to much get the timing checked and see if the pimp has been change they might of left mark were it was set as standard if you luck
-
Check out the injector return pipe- the flexible pipe that links all the injectors together, I had similar mpg when mine went.
Also does the truck drive ok? Correct amount of power?
-
sounds just like mine im currently only doing about 50 miles on
-
power is reasonably low, im just confused about it need to write a list and check it all when i get 5 mins sapre :(

Hell's teeth, my 5.0l V8 LSE is better than that! :shocked:
It can't be burning all that fuel, it must be leaking somewhere and that would worry me as well as my wallet.
Look underneath for leaks and drips and check the oil for fuel in the crankcase.
did you swap injectors, pump etc between the oild and new engines? did you see the new lump running before buying

Silly thought but are the brakes binding?!!!

at a guess id say your timing was out a tooth will cause all kinds of headaches
