thanks for all suggestions:
Ok, I saw the car on Friday. Started her up and found the following
four things..
Blue oil-smelling smoke, and after 10 mins of running, the grass
under the exhaust/muffler had black oil droplets on..
greyish smoke, smelt of deisel..see below
raditor showed full of coolant and no movement when idleing or
revved, no obvious oil contamination..
One injector 'knocking'
So my guess is.. an oilway leak into a combustion chamber, causing
the blue smoke and also causing a misfire and hence the grey smoke..?
I am wondering if I can do a head gasket swap where the car is,
without skimming, and see if it will then get me home (100miles)
Onrather that trailer etc...
any more thoughts?
