Doesn't look like the 2.8 in my MK1 or the pics I've seen of the 2.8 Fronty engine, the inlet manifold looks different from both.

I was told its an old 2.8 with the fancy bits turbo, intercooler off the 3.0

Its a 2.8 ok, we are just head scratching about the ancillaries, and what could cause your problem.

Piccy of what it should look like in a 2.8, but as you said your has got all the 3.0 stuff bolted on.

The 2.8 Rodeo has EGR valves like the frontera, thats why the inlet is different to the UK spec mk1 Trooper.

The thing at the back with the pipes missing is a heat exchanger for the egr system, we have something similar on a tractor Wink

The pipes would have been connected to the coolant system but looking at the black sooty marks just down from the pipes could mean this exchanger may be knackerd causing the pressurising in the coolant system that your previous owner mentioned (could have killed the previous engine).

If i am right just remove it and blank it off, may help your smoke Very Happy

The injector pump looks to be a fly by wire type, don't think the original 2.8 had fly by wire, if so then it could have been fitted from the original engine and may not be set up for the replacement engine as they may differ slightly causing your black smoke.

ad is right it is the heat exchanger which ideally should be connected up to keep the temp down other wise they just get hotter and hotter
