    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!!

    That looks like a pain, I broke a few tools trying to undo the shaft nut so bought this tool:

    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..!!)

    All you needed was a short breaker bar and MRP standing on it.

    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 .

    Isn't turbo seal usually more blueish/blackish smoke and white smoke more "steam" related?

    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..
