Swapped air filter and no real difference. Looking at it it seems to be clear on start up then about 5-10 seconds of running starts smoking if that gives any more clues?

So popped in some forte advanced diesel fuel treatment and turbo cleaner come as a twin pack loaded the car up with 40 ltrs of dielsel and dumped both bottles into the tank. OK 3/4 way through the treated fuel and it appears cleaner no black soot coming out of the exhaust ( when holding some...

I have heard that but thanks for confirming. I will give it some Forte medicine and see what happens.

Is it this type of stuff or an engine flush treatment when changing the oil? Forte Lubricants - Product - Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment

Thanks BD333 I will take a look. Would the EGR valve have anything to do with it?

I had a very similar sounding problem on My P38 and it turned out to be a damaged glow plug. Maybe you have a faulty one or damaged?

Sorry should have been Changing

Were you saving as a service item or sorting out a problem, I am keen to know what issues old glow plugs cause?

Thanks for the responses, I just wanted to make sure something wasn't missing and it seems like there is only supposed to be one seal at the bottom of the door and its fixed to the actual door rather than frame. So all good there. My door seal seams fine just thought it was unusual to see the...

Thanks for the responses makes perfect sense, Mhm mine appears to be fitted like yours. So in essence there is only one lower door seal May I ask can you se the floor down the side of the door sill ally colour inside and on mine white outer sill? Is this intentional! Thanks again...

I have a seal attached to the door itself. Hopefully the attached picture will explain a bit more of the context. There is nothing actually riveted to the floor panels. on the attached there is an ally grey metal plate and then the white painted exterior sill. I have an air gap...

Happy New year Whilst driving her indoors asked why she could see daylight in the footwell. I think she was imagining it but on closer inspection I can see daylight down through the ally part (inside) between the white sill cover ( outside) Should there be a seal here? I have one...
