I know, it is a shame we can't all live the dream!

Rings or valve stem seals could be gone and burning oil, or it could be in burned fuel. You should have a fuel screw on the fuel pump somewhere adjusting that in could help. Also try taking off the rod going from the top of the fuel pump to the manifold and zap strap the lever for the butterfly manifold end wide open, it should start and generally perform better, more air in should mean better combustion and less smoke, you can even remove the butterfly from the inlet completely. If it's burning oil engines are so cheap it's worth just buying another or a set of rings or valve stem seals, compression test should tell you if it's rings or valves. Fuel pump timing can also affect smoke, uncover timing belt and loosen timing pulley on pump and adjust see if it makes a difference.

I had to do a similar job in Penshurst with a Yew Hedge that overhung the path, which was narrow even at full width, no one seemed ot want it done but the council insisted, it was an awful job! Its starting to grow back now, but it'll be a while before its back to normal! That will be terrible ona connifer hedge, they should put a fence up or something.

On small jobs alot of people do it, but its generally easier safer and more pleasent to have a groundy or 2.

the line from side d's aroundt he trunk is usually a 3m steel cored strop, but some people just use their short strop/lanyard which is normal climbing rope and their main lie to maintain two points of attachment. When climbing up first thing the main line and a lanyard or steel core flipline/strop are used in a pair to keep one anchor point in whilst throwing the spare rope to the next branch.

offering to leave some SDT in someone back garden doesn't quite sell as well as a 'bringing it down to a monolith" though does it?

Oh yes, i've already been playing with the fuel pump, got the plate and AFC slid right up star wheel slackened off. With just that achieves 0-60 in 11-12 and blows a fair bit of smoke off boost. i'll shortly be ordering a fuel plate, boost control elbow and 4k rpm fuel pump governor springs+ HD valve springs that should put me to around 300bhp and 650lbs/ft Stacks are also in the pipeline should be fun.

Brilliant motors inthe 310 and 312 2.9 turbo i owned one a few years back ran it from 140k to 280 the head gasket went shortly after a laying down 5 hour run from scotland to Kent...i worked hard to keep up the reputation of those vans, so fair play to it it was tapped out everywhere, one head gasket and other than that it just got the oil changed and diesel put in it...or maybe cooking oil. Good smooth fast engine lovely van to drive, much nicer than even the newst transits. I also had a 311 for a bit which was just as good. Sprinter or Transit...Once you've got behind the wheel of a Sprinter you'll realise thats not a question :-) Merc all the way!
