Seeing all the work you've done, and the advice all the gurus have given to you is what has given me the confidence to do my project myself.

It probably needs a good to run you may have to reco your injectors if she has been sitting for an extended period. I would certainly be changing your filters (engine and fuel), a nice fresh tank of diesel and some new oil give her a nice little run around the yard and see how she goes.

Reckon you'll open a body repair shop after you're done with your current project? you have more skills that half the smashies I know!

Keep up the good work, I wish I had half the guts to do less to my GQ.

Michelle, love, don't dispair. It ain't all bad.

Glow plugs don't give up the ghost reguarly. I doubt they need replacing. Is your GLOW PLUG TIMER working properley? Do you wait for it to click before winding over your motor?

Do you use your throttle lock instead of the exccellerator pedal for cold starting, then wind it down to idle?

Check both your air filters are clean and have not had a rat build a nest in there. This would choke the motor and cause excess Diesel Smoke.

Your Blue Smoke is unburnt Deisel, either caused by overfuelling or crook injectors.

Up here you can get exchange injector set for approx $400-$500. With instruction sheet how to fit yourself.

So your Shorty is a long way from being a pile of crap yet!!!

Just to confirm- Blue smoke is oil, black smoke is over fueling and white smoke is unburnt diesel.

I knew that, I'm just tired and not thinking straight. But din't know white smoke. So thanks for that. I also thought overfuelling was unburnt diesel, so need to understand the difference there as I haven't quite graspe that one yet.

Yeah white smoke is raw diesel when it has been atomised. Overfuelling doesnt allow the fuel to burn completely hence the black smoke. I have thrown a link up in general mech for it its a good read and is sure to help everyone.
