hi all
recently was looking for advice re my 1996 disc which belched out black smoke from time to time and promised an update
took advice and changed all filters and oil which did help smoking was certainly less but still having a fly puff now and then plus still felt there was more in the engine power wise so took too a very tame mechanic who loves to work on anything land rover and very reasonable who blanked off egr valve had a look at exhaust manifold gasket which was split so replaced it checked valves which needed slight attention and tweeked injection pump
and is now a completly different vehicle pulling well and best of all no more smoking I think the split gasket and egr valve were main culprits
so thankyou to all who added advice and input
