Well one glowplug the center core came out with the wires so il find out tomorrow, had all the injectors out aswell and cleaned the tips up, cleaned out the EGR and inlets, goes like a rocket, took ages to bleed the diesel thou, tool plenty of pics too

Hopefully then if you had one knackered glow plug that might be it. Reading the TIS cd the glow plugs go into an after glow phase after fire up.

"Once the engine has started, the glow plugs enter an after-glow phase. The after-glow phase helps to improve idling and reduce hydrocarbon emissions through more efficient combustion just after starting. The after-glow phase only operates at engine speeds below 2500 RPM, above that, the after-glow phase is interrupted to increase the durability of the glow plugs. There is a maximum after-glow time of 30 seconds at -20ºC or lower. At temperatures above 50ºC there is no after-glow phase."

So that could explain the white smoke. Keep my fingers crossed.

Probably going to get some injectors for it next, definatly improved the starting thou
