Hi looking for some advice, did search but all seems to be for turbos, recently managed to finally sort all the oil and cooling leaks so engine is in its best health since we got it.

Fitted a new timing belt and tensioner as well.

The problem seems to be on start up a puff of white smoke and when the engine is under any load (foot down or any kind of acceleration)when warm it chucks out white smoke, if your just coast along at a steady speed ie 30/40 its fine its as soon as you accelerate.

Hoping someone can help

Sounds like your injector pump timing could be out. It really should be re checked when you change the timing belt.
Needs a dial gauge and a special tool to screw into the back of the injector pump to check the timing. Timing is then adjusted by rotating the injector pump on its mounting bolt slots.
