Hi - I have a 93 200tdi Disco with 200Kk on the clock. Just had the 100Kk timing belt replacement and apparently a couple of valve caps needed replacing and also had the valves adjusted. Now find that vehicle is blowing excessive black smoke and seems to have lost some power. I know that fuel pumps may need to be retimed after timing belt replacement but my concern is that juicing the fuel up will just blow even more smoke. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Thanks

Happened to me too. Had problem starting, no power .. it was not drivable.
Took it back to the dealer ( for the last time ever) and they fixed it without charge but wasted another 2 days . All up 5 days of catching trains to work nearly 2 hours one way. I was very dissapointed. Good think is that I can name them on public
forum for other to be aware. Wignell Ford, Kia and Daihatsu in Frankston Victoria. You won't see my 4WD back there.
