Just finished checking timing and all seems well barring couldn't get one pin in but looking at it looked like the pin should go in couldn't see why the pin wouldn't go in unless it was that fractionally out if it was could that cause this kind of problem if it's not the timing could it be an...

Ok I will let you know my findings on Sunday hopefully I get the easy way for a change my mechanic keeps banging on about rocker arms will be ruined and there £50 each obvs 16 of them if both sides damaged but I found this if it is the case on eBay...

Thanks for your help I've ordered a timing tool and gonna have a go on Sunday so I can have the daylight would the car still start if the rockers was damaged or would running the car with damaged rockers hurt it further If the timing has slipped and I put it back right will there be tell tail...

Also did you check the tensioner pic

Is the timing something I could do myself I don't wanna have it recovered somewhere and that don't work then it's stuck there it runs sounds very rough can't hear the turbo out the exhaust it used to sound nice for a deisel Its just my luck that the worse possible thing would happen to it lol...

I havnt recovered my car yet as without looking at it my mechanic has said that the timing belt has slipped and that it will have mangled rocker arms and it is a big job like 1200 rough or he said I could get a second hand head which I know is good and that would be cheaper as it's less labour...

It's definitely blowing smoke out I'm thinking exhaust and intake valve opening at same time sounds logical and car would be fighting itself giving the bounce revs and copious amounts of smoke looks and smells like completely unburnt diesel

Cam belt is this right

The previous owner changed the cam belt without changing the tensioners and I was fearing that the tensioners can fail too I'm a newb to this so still trying to understand my car with the help of the guys off here

Thanks for your prompt replies I will be sure to check tomorrow are the intercooler pipes underneath and will check the position on tensioner but would these cause me to have no revs it's like the engine is being choked I'm hoping it's not the turbo
