I had it looked at earlier and they recon it's either the injectors or the engine itself. The smoke isn't that bad in the video due to it being mild here this morning but when the temperature is around the minus it's really bad. It has 71000 miles with full history. My last 2.8 had over a hundred thousand miles on it and didn't smoke anywhere near as bad as this one. The dealer got it back about an hour ago to look at it.

I'll try and get a video of mines in the morning, it blows a lot of white smoke on startup first thing, but it clears.
I'm planning to check the glowplugs, then perhaps go down a water/seafoam route to give the internals a good clean.

Here we go, this should work.

Quite good of the baker providing the background foghorn.

Thought I'd done it public, but it had defaulted to private. That's it public now.
