land rover newbie

Thats how i thought it was done but as you say it was hard to move. Is it best to lossen the pipes and will the engine still run?

No the car is not on the road yet so no worries there. Does anyone know how to adjust the pump timing???

Hi all thnks for all your advice not very happy about the red diesel thing but guess i will have to deal with it. I was talking to a friend today and he was saying that by adjusting the diesel pump timing it can help with smoke is this true? If it is true how do i adjust it? Also looking on the bad side how would i tell if there is any major damage done to the engine? engine smokes a lot when you floor it not when you hold the throttle steady only a bit of smoke? As you can see from the picture she is changing all the time

I have just started to work on the engine on my series 3 diesel. It is smoking baby blue smoke only on hard acceleration,so i changed the fuel filter and no change but did smell a really weird smell from it it smelt like paraffin and white spirit So i drained the tank and got a strange coloured liquid out of the tank,it had red diesel in it but was more of a orangey colour. My question is what sort of damage could this have done to the engine? I have heard that these engines are very hard wearing but am worried about the damage that could have been done i have no idea how long the engine has been run on the fuel as it came from a farm. I put some clean diesel in from a garage and the smoke has become less but im still worried any advice would be great.

Hi all Im asking a question for a friend,he has a series 3 diesel land rover with a smoky engine,so he decided to flush it. Now there is oil coming out of the exhaust not to sure if it was doing it before he said it was. Has anyone any ideas of what is going on Cheers in advance
