Thanks for the reply Booboodag. I can confirm that the smoke is white and there is shedloads of it. The noise starts when on tick over (idling). Its a defo metal rattle from something going round in the engine bay.

All, I have a 2001 TD4 and having just started it up in neutral, after a few seconds there was an almighty constant loud clatter/rattle coming from the engine bay along with plumes of white smoke billowing from the exhaust. The car has been misfiring recently and is in need of a new injector...

Thanks all, Much appreciated. I will throw in some injector cleaner and see how it goes. If it is an injector how do i find out which one it is and is it an easy job to replace? Thanks

Any ideas???? please.

I have a 2001 TD4 and whilst driving around under little thottle the car is fine. However, if i put my foot to the floor and then pull up at a junction the car shakes/wobbles or idles roughly. My initial thoughts is its a faulty injector, although any advice to confirm that or other possible...

Thanks for link Chaser. Can confirm Job done and very pleased.

I currently have 195 80 R15 tyres fitted on my 15 inch alloys. They are in need of a change and I was wondering if I can put on wider profile tyres as the current ones look like they should be on a bike. Any advice on sizes to fit would be welcome. Thanks

Hi All, My 2001 TD4 has developed tyre wear on the outside edge of the left front tyre. Also, If I try to centre the steering wheel when driving, it seems to wander left, therefore to keep it straight I need to keep it slightly off centre to the right. I hope that makes sense. Any...

Hi all, My 2001 TD4 appears to have developed a clutch judder whilst under acceleration. I have checked my engine oil level and this is well below the max mark on the dipstick. I assume that the engine oil is leaking onto the clutch plate, hence the judder. Can anyone confirm that this could...

I recently noticed a clunking noise coming from the rear of my TD4 when I depress the clutch. It now seems to have got worse with the clunks becoming more frequent and louder. I also noticed today that when I depressed the clutch there was a bang from somewhere in the engine bay. I have had a...

Cheers. Just put a search in on ebay and there is a 35mm lawnmower spanner for a fiver. Might be worth a punt? If anyone is interested the Item number: 150159171453

Hi all, Can anyone throw some light on what "mm" the oil filter screwcap is please? I have tried to find a socket big enough to unscrew it, but to no avail. Therefore, does anyone know where i can get one big enough? Cheers All.

Thanks for the replies. The mechanic did pull out the injectors and these appeared to be clean. When I was on the way to the garage, it was tentative when I touched the accelerator at low revs. It almost felt like it was on the verge of stalling. As soon as I floored it, that was when it...
