Smoking Engine problem Fix

[Roger]

Hi all,
I had posted Dec last year a problem with my TD28 engine smoking on start up and wondered if anyone had a solution to fix it.
After asking a lot of mechanics, no-one to seemed to be able to give me any answers. I renewed all filters, checked glow plugs - all were okay. So decided to take it to a fuel injection workshop for a diagnostic. First they said they would check compression. That was okay through the 6 cylinders. They said they had a special tool to adjust the actual injector pump. The timing should have been .87@TDC but was at .29@TDC so this caused the problem of the smoke as fuel was put into cylinders too late and so was exhausting out. Since this was done it has been running perfect, no smoke at all and instant start. Thank goodness for that and not too many $$$. I hope this info may help anyone else with a similar problem as not all diesel injection workshops have the correct tool (an expensive one) to do this job.
