Have a look at the brake servo vac pipe could be leaking into the servo then sucked into the engine ,just a thought.
It is a possibility. The fuild is going somewhere, and the chuff of smoke I'm getting could well be brake fluid and not my oil return pipe(again...!)
I've reading conflicting tests on how to diagnose a brake servo(booster on some websites) because I initially thought this might be at fault.
Day started well.....

No CV joint changed... :(
Good news - Doors are fixed!!! Rear door needed the whole unit changing as both inner and out handle clips had snapped. If I was overly pedantic I need a new rear door card now.
Front door was as easy as WD40 to free everything up. Car locks fully for the first time in 2years. I bet some tries to break in now!!
Probably going to book MOT and take it into RT's for some love as I'm going to run out of time before TRAX..
Nice to see you had a (fairly) good day.
That looks like a pain, I broke a few tools trying to undo the shaft nut so bought this tool:

Worked a treat....
A 1" drive powerbar with a 36mm impact socket and a scaffold pole............... works a treat :)
i've got a JCB impact driver that plugs into the cigarette lighter, nothings ever beat it yet including my bro's 90year old VW's

Car 2 - 1 me.... We're now getting somewhere.
Torque multiplier just bent a wheel stud... But a 1" socket breaker bar on the end of a leg of my engine lift has done the trick..
Happy Saturday all (so far..!!)
Maybe... I had to jump on this to free one side.. Anyway I must progress in this!!
Ok, 8months and no major changes. The MOT ran out and due to other commitments and a strange enjoyment of Satan's juice (the derv) nothing got sorted on this car. Anyway I needed to move it so it has been relocated to my factory for a while.
Whilst there I gave it a bit of a run around the car park, which was fun as it takes off still and has my chav'ie dump valve.
It's not happy!!!
Sounds like one tappet has dried out, but worse than that I have a massive chuff of white smoke!!!
Seal in the turbo..???
This car might need some proper surgery now . :sick: :grumpy: :cry: :cry:
That's what happens when you leave them standing. :(
Yep...
I actually hoping it's just the reemergence of the faulty turbo oil return pipe that took me 4-5 goes to get it to seal properly.
If the cars sat for a while the white smoke could just be water vapor, condensation does build up inside the engine when not run regularly. get in nice & warm. Shut it off & try again tomorrow. No more smoking, no more problems. If it was a big cloud of blue ud be a bit worried :)
It's worse than that... Potentially spun a shell, engine seems to have a very distinct rattle. Maybe bent rod, but I'm keeping my hopes up on that one as I would have thought it would have gone at Silverstone last year..
Am still awaiting work on the 850 to resume
