littlemidge is an unknown quantity at this point
Default schmooookin!

Hi Guys... got like 3 days until the scumball at the old duck is smoking like a goodun......


Basically, everythgings fine on start up and after a bit of normal driving but after a bit of a rag when i pull up it seems to be smoking loads on idle... gray smoke i think - and smells like oil burning.

if the engine cools down again then it's fine.... until you rag it again....

To anyone in the know:
is it most likely to be the turbo oil seals? or is thare anything else i should be looking out for???


The europe rally is too soon to risk so i'm having a new turbo sorted... but is that likely to solve it??? I can't risk a knackered engine...

any help would be greatly appreciated!
