My glow plugs looked like this after 200k
very hard to start IMO

It could actually. If one cylinder was not firing or burning until some of the heat from the others warmed it a bit, you might blow white smoke. I did my glows a short time ago, and was absolutely...

It may be a faulty glow plug, which would explain the smoke when the engine is cold.

I would look at changing the glow plugs anyway if they have never been changed, as they have a habit of losing...

So I have jacked the...

If you know what you're doing, and the box has done over 300,000km it doesn't hurt to throw in a new set of bearings as preventative maintenance.

G`day Dom
Sorry this is a bit late but I`m in the middle of WA and the coverage is sparse.
Looking at your problem,the master cylinder is leaking past the rear seal.
I would suggest that a new...

Installation of the new is pretty much the reverse of the above.

wind over - by hand - the Crank or the Power Steering pulleys
