there is a bit when it starts but not all the timr but is there hot or cold when I'm just turndeling about jist when you back off the throttle and let the engine do its own thing but once you put the power back on it clears again fairly quickly. jist does seem to do it if your normal road driving.

no has to be green :p

its a200 tdi defender engine that starts fine with usual puff of black smoke. runs a bit rough when cold , and also when idling though this may be helped if i could find out how to turn the tick over up,its when I'm trundeling about it starts sending out white smoke but as soon as it gets a bit...

don't push it! nothin wrong with choppin doon trees and destroyin the atmosphere , all in a days work fir me , and if some one wants to run there engine on wood chip thats even better, at least I get a market for the waste product too , all hail capitalisum. :p

cheers Grunt , done that for the 12n plug , still looking for help with the 12s plug them other two has got me confused , if I need a direct live feed from the battery this should have its own fuse? and need to know what wires go where into the 12n plug to seeminily :confused:

cheers slob and red hand. never wired up a 12s socket need it for a caravan so,s can charge the battery on it as I go along and work all the rest of the stuff in it. first time with a bloody caravan too.
