ty rich i can lift the rocker cover to check these rite? gonna get my cousin to look coz i 'm not so sure what i'd be looking for or would it be obvious?

just took sediment filter off an put a straight pipe thru , no differance it sounds like its missing a bit also white smoke at lowish revs an slight backfire with darker smoke at higher revs,

hey all, i ran my 1996 300tdi disco really low on diesel , the next day i went to start her an loadsa black/blue smoke an some white came out plus a small pop sound it sounded an drives ruff as a nail until i got down the road when it all clears up this is still the same after putting 20 quid...
