This morning I replace the injector with the ones from my old head as i know these 4 were working to see if I could get the truck to start. still the same though, will fire up on the starter motor but as soon as the starter motor is disengaged the engine dies, also smokes extremely when trying to run. Its been off the road for three weeks now and the taxi fares have used all my money as well now. Has anybody previously had this problem or any ideas what could cause it to happen?

What colour is the smoke?
Is the timing right?Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it'sComment

smoke is black, timing has been checked many a time by many people now as its the first thing we all suspectOriginally posted by Albannach View PostSurfin on the tidal waves of mud!Comment

Black smoke is either too much fuel or not enough air. Are the air filter, all the inlet pipework and the turbo clear?Originally posted by YoungOffroader View PostDo you know that, with a 50 character limit, it'sComment

Yer its all clear, air filter is a K&N filter on the inlet pipe and from there the air way is all clear. just spoke to a diesel mechanic n he again said timingOriginally posted by Albannach View PostSurfin on the tidal waves of mud!Comment

When I think more about it, black smoke can also be poor atomisation. Poor atomisation can be due to duff injectors or an under performig pump (not enough pressure), check them next.
Timing is more likely to give you grey smoke.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it'sComment

If you had the injector pipes off the pump too, did you reconnect them properly? It's possible to connect them up wrong.
Looking from the back of the pump:
