And you have relevant experience, of course:- "Sorry to post this here, tried uk.rec.cars.maintenance but not much in the way of replies. I have an 03 reg diesel Kangoo van, 57,000 mile on the clock. On the door panel its described as 1.7DCi, the plastic cowling over the engine reads 1.5 DCi and the logbook reads 1465cc. Passed MOT in January which included an emissions test, but now its started smoking. No change in performance, no starting problems, no sign of overheating. The smoke is greyish. How much it smokes varies. It clears when the engine oil level is low, when topped up it starts again. Mileage is only around 8,000 pa most of which is stop start traffic, rarely gets a decent run. Tried Wynns Smoke treatment in the oil & a Redex product in the fuel, they don't seem to make much difference. Stopped using Morrissons diesel & switched to Esso. Any ideas on what this could be? Someone suggested a blocked oil way or something - sorry my knowledge of engines, especially diesels is almost zero. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk " Not that Handy

This signage gives extra warning to passing vehicles that there might be horses in the road. Think of it as a sensible warning to those around them!

That is the whole point of having a horse after all. B2003
