hey guys new to this forum but looks like the place to be if you like your sj's!!

got mself a 1985 410 with 1.7 diesel astra engine in it lots of other mods have been done too. but the main problem is the place i brought it from dont know who built it so its one giant pain in the arse!

in process of getting it ready for MOT all ready except one big problem! it smokes alot and im try to find the problem!!

oh yea im Tom 22 from bedford and quite new to all of this

Hi welcome to suzuki club uk!!!

What is the smoke like? Black or blue or white?

Have you got any pics? (of the truck not the smoke )

wen i got the zuki i was told i could be the head going, then the day i went to pick it up matey told me they cracked all the injectors and it was gd news one of them had gone. so i got a new injector still smokes just not as bad, yesturday i ws having a little play noticed one fo the rubber pipes has abitof a break in it so taped it up and the majority ofthe smoke has gone until u give it some heavy revs. the smoke is a kinda whitey gray bita blue which dont help!!

but i noticed yesturday wen i take the oil dip stick out smoke comes out of it??

but yes i shall take a few pics shortly and get them uplaoded

Definitely sounds like the engine... head gasket or something probably :(
Bluey-whitey smoke indicated that you have oil and water getting into the cylinders.....
... and the smoking dipstick...

Sorry I can't really help much more, not really that clued up on diesel engines, especially vauxhall ones!

Agreed. It looks busy in there.

Ha I like the bonnet bulge, I'd have thought the previous owner may have been better giving it a body lift instead!

I can't say I'm struck on your grill either - Sorry! Apart from that It looks like a tidy little motor and its nice to see a tin top, the majority of SJ's are soft top, Mine included! so its nice to see one with a proper roof, did you fit the bucket seats? some people swear by them, but I wouldn't fancy them for a long journey!
