If its smoking on start up then, check your glo plugs, easier still check your bus bar is nice and clean and insure that the contacts are sound to the plugs.

Run some redex through it that normally helps. if the smoking persists then blank off the egr valve or clean it out, this does make a difference :wink:

Youll get a ball bearing and a piece of paper :evil:  Will work if your EGR valve is still working but if it's stuck then it's pointless. For a couple more quid you can get the blanking plate (also on ebay) and it will do a much better job.
