Read the MOT testers manual.......its online any emission control equipment fitted by the manufacturer obviously missing, modified or defective is a major fail , that includes the egr valve

Welcome to bankruptsy

I can recall you asking lots of questions regarding your L322......and why take the **** because someone bought anEvoque

You'll get a tidy L322 3.6 TD V8 for 10 grand

Yes it was the 160,000 mile 3.6

Tried the Italian tune up .......decided to get a refund rather than get involved

I'm looking into those but I've had some strange insurance quotes..........the L322 TDv8 3.6 was £900 ........a 4.2 supercharged Sport quote is £600 .......how does any of that make sense ?

Cloud of black smoke on acceleration.......more than normal

I took min e back to the dealer and got my money back :)

Had a mk1 facelift auto diesel Hippo and loved it........ I wish you many happy years together

And thats what scares me :(

Why thank you gentlemen ...... I look forward to discovering my first fault :rolleyes:

I bought it :D

I'll check .....on my way to have a good look at the paper work

I,ve looked at a 2006 V8td Vogue today.......looks immaculate, drives spot on and everything works BUT 160,000 miles with a full history and invoices .........am I crazy if I buy it ?

Dont forget to remove the intercooler and drain/flush any oil out of it

What a lovely story , may all three of you have many adventures together

Finally someone with common sense..... I wonder how many posters on this thread report a neighbour /friend to the TV license people or for any other trivial thing, if you're not buying it get a f*cking life

Yes , the cause

The reason I'd crack off the feed pipe to the rail is to get as much petrol out of the system as possible
