Smoky td5

(1/3) > >>

karloss:
Low miles, well maintained td5 Blowing grey smoke out like a train. Slight "misfire" at 2000 ish revs. Any ideas? Anyone?

Range Rover Blues:
Other than "it's bust" you mean :-k

Grey smoke, isn't that timing related? otherwise I'd be looking at the cooling system for using water.

Possibly a lousy injector too.

Hightower:
Misfires can sometimes be caused by oil in the injector wiring loom.  But that may just be for Disco's, not sure . . . .  :?

Sorry, should have been more specific. It's grey as opposed to white. Unburnt fuel I'm presuming. Was hoping it was something common and 30 people would say...."it's your....xyz, it always is".
The oil and water levels are perfect, not using a drop of either, no mixing of the two either. Water does smell a bit "burnt" so maybe head gasket related??
I'll check the wiring tomorrow and see what's what but I'm doubting it to be honest. Is this the bit of loom on top of the rocker box under the cover?
Bloomin land rovers, remind me again why I love them so........
