Sat at side of M6 waiting for recovery. Lad borrowed my Disco2 TD5 to collect some parts from LR Parts, and called, saying its broken down, smoking, and no power....

Came up and swapped cars, so Im waiting at side of motorway...

No faults showing on Nanocom.

Smokes white/blue smoke on reving... its hoofing it down so cant check anything yet.

Any pointers ? Im thinking either turbo gone, head gasket ?

Under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulations 61(7) and 61A(3)) and the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Section 42) it is an offence to use on a road a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet.

And

Under the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Section 75) it is an offence to alter a vehicle in such a way that the use of the vehicle on a road would be unlawful. A person altering the vehicle (if they knew or believed that the vehicle would be used on the road) could be found guilty of an offence under the Act.
 
Oh 🤔

Forget the bollocks. As much as I may not agree with the changes. We are here to help. the changes are unlikely to be the cause of the issue at hand.

You have already had help as newbie. But comments like that from a Newbie don't often put you in good stead for further help.

Could often result in this :vb-wave: as we like to be friendly in the tech sections, or at the very least helpful.

Greta... is it you? .... i inform you that a Td5 with old/worn EGR system pollutes more than one with it removed and there are remaps which also are improving emissions... cut the bull sh*t

All vehicle owners should be aware of the need to inform their insurers of modifications made to the vehicle, whatever form these might take, as changes to the vehicle potentially alter the risk being insured.

It is not always obvious to vehicle owners that some modifications will make the vehicle illegal to use on the road, irrespective of whether the insurer is prepared to provide cover. For example, removing a catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter will almost certainly result in a vehicle’s emissions exceeding type approval limits and make the vehicle illegal to drive on the road. Engine re-mapping may also result in non-compliant emissions.

It is the driver who is responsible for ensuring compliance.
