It is a camper, so it doesn’t get driven often at this time of year, but it often gets started and shuffled around the yard etc. But last Thursday, I got ½ a mile up the road, and had a loud knocking noise, like when you change a diesel filter, and it needs bleeding. I pulled in, and let it idle for a bit, hoping it would bleed itself through. But there was also a lot of white smoke from the exhaust. Got out, and took a look under the bonnet, and there was oil leaking from the area under the battery. So I called the recovery company. Further investigation a couple of days later, and it wouldn’t restart. I looked for the oil leak, and there were only breather hoses in that area. So maybe the leak was caused by crankcase pressure, due to very rough running ? I did an injector leak down test, and two injectors leaked different amounts to the other two. So I whipped out all the injectors, No2 is fine, but the other three are nasty, with heavy carbon deposits, and some rust. So my first question – any recommendations, who can supply me a good set of recon injectors ? If it really is rust on the injectors, that leads me to think I’ve got water in the fuel. Apart from draining the tank and replacing the filter, are there any sedimenters etc that I need to look at ? Assuming I did have a large amount of oil in the breather system, is there anything I should take off and flush ? Sorry for all the Q’s, but I’m stuck in the office, and I need to get this fixed quickly, as I’m squatting on a mates farm at the moment. Andy

I also changed the engine oil and filter for good measure. The engine was really difficult to start, so I managed to burn out the starter motor too With a new starter, I managed eventually to get it going. The engine was knocking quite badly at the top end. When I eventually managed to get the revs up to 1500, the clouds of white acrid smoke started, along with the oil leak. There was a lot of pressure coming from the engine breather, which exits in front of the N/S/F wheel, along with the oil. I figure it has to be the head gasket or worse, but I've found a 2nd hand engine on eBay which I'll put in. I will eventually pop the head for a diagnosis. Any hints and tips for pulling an engine ? Iveco specific, as I've done a few others in the past. Does the front panel, that holds the headlights unbolt ? Does it really need to ? I've got a fork-lift at my disposal for the lift, so lifting the engine should be an issue. Andy
