  I have just replaced the glow-plugs on my 2.5 diesel and car starts up a lot better however it now revs out and does not respond to the throttle pedal and kicks out white smoke the only way to kill is to turn engine off. It passed the mot with no issues what have I disturbed?

all 6 manifold gaskets OK?

Also check you haven't nicked number 4 injector sensor wire and its plugged in or have you got any vacuum pipes trapped/sqaushed under the manifold

  Thanks for the tips it turned out that I had got the two pipes on the plenum chamber the wrong way round resulting in un metered fuel going straight into the cylinders Doh!! As I couldn't get the pipe from the fuel pump off the underside of the plenum chamber off had to remove the chamber yet again problem now solved and touch wood no damage to the engine.
