no probs with the engine it goes very very well.
as for redex it always gets millers when i fuel up.
and the motor is serviced every 3000 miles it wants for nothing.
the only thing thats not been serviced is the injection pump so i think that will be next just to see if that will sort it.

Millers is great i use that...but just dont put it it all the time as the Engine in part becomes to rely on it so to speak...

i think its just more noticeable to me because i have a side exit exhaust .
when i start it up all i see in the nearside mirror if a great cloud of guff.

maybe if i went back to a satndard exhaust it might be better? who knows

I just happen to know where a V8 (3.9) from A discovery with an LPG kit may be going for grabs. better than those nasty Diesel jobs.

Philbert, your not the only one with a black smoke problem :roll: , I too get it and am very self concious about it, especially when theres a group of little old ladies fighting to escape the black cloud of fumes as i start it outside the paper shop ( they momentarily loose all sight as its so thick and black).
