ive just changed all the pcv ie new pipes and box, now it smells really rich and strong when running and when its at running temp it looks like im in a nightclub or ive shoved a smoke machine up the exhaust lol, ive checked the plugs and they are all black sutted up which points to over fuelling to me, but now im running out of ideas,

is there anyone near wakefield that can come and have a look and a second opinion please, im getting stressed out with her :(

I'm guessing it's not directly to do with PCV function as this simply sucks fumes out of the engine case. Perhaps you've forgotten to connect something, or have mis-connected something.

Thinking about it - I have had a white smoke PCV incident once, when the PCV vacuum connection came adrift and dangled down below the car. When I parked in a large puddle, it started to suck puddle directly into the manifold! Then there was some white smoke! ;-)
