Hi there, the news was not good in my cace I ended up with two problems i first had a crack in the head i dont think this had much to do with the smoke but me and the mender man decided that a new engine was the way to go as the engine was tyred anyway. Having taken the engine out we found a load of play in the turdo this is where i think the smoke was coming from on start up. A bill for £2750 later i have a van that does not smoke at all. The bill was made up of parts mainley only £300 was labour which i did not think was too bad. The engine came with all the injection pump cam belt ect ready to bolt in. I guess this is not what you wanted to hear but it is what happend now i have got over the bill i am pleased with the van best of luck Simon.
