1.9 Td white smoke

Does the smoke burn your eyes?

No, I'm going to use it for a few weeks and hope it's just crud from the previous turbo fail

Ahh well, if you've had a recent turbo failure then it'll smoke from the exhaust once hot and boosting. I had it with calamity james's 405

How long did it smoke for?

I dont suppose you are using Veg Oil as fuel? If so its normal as Veg burns with a white/grey smoke.

[406Marc]

Just using normal diesel, I'm pretty sure it is the fuel pump

Checked the cambelt timing which is fine
pulled the injector sensor wire apart and engine started knocking?clattering (so assuming internal advance and retard is ok)

Symptoms:
Engine doesn't smoke at idle
If left idleing for long periods when the accelerator is touched it bellows white smoke
Once the engine is warm there is alot less smoke
Engine takes longer to start when warm

I was hoping to save it from the scrapyard.......

has it ever had veggie oil in tho ? because i havnt had veg oil in mine for a good few weeks now but can still smell it and see the white smoke out the rear

White smoke normally means that the fuel injected into the cylinder is not burning correctly.(the smoke will burn your eyes).
Reasons for this are
1.Engine /pump timing out.
2.Fuel starvation to the pump causing the pump timing not to operate correctly.
3.Low engine compression
4.Water/petrol in the fuel.
