Gerry No problem, hope you get the car sorted one way or another. Also that you get to see the grandsons. Best Wishes, John

John You have me a little confused. On one hand you say you cannot find the EGR vale and then you say "with the way the carbon is built up etc etc". If you cannot locate the EGR valve how do you know there is a carbon build up." Good luck with removing the inlet manifold, it is not an easy and straight forward job in my opinion. Whilst you have the intake manifold off you might consider changing other items that are then accessible and may be leading to "rough idle and misfires." Please update when you have sorted the problem. Good luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John

No idea what it is. However very occasionally my S-Type does exactly the same thing. Regards, John

Chris, Welcome to the Club with many sociable and knowledgeable members. You will very likely find answers from someone who has "been there and done it" on most questions you could pose or advice you ask for. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Gerry There is another treatment done by a company in Dudley, West Midlands. They do all of the underside and interior of as many panels as they can (E.G. Doors etc). The company is called Krown. https://www.krown.co.uk. I once spoke with them by email and they wanted around 1/2 to 3/4 of a day to completely do my S-Type. From memory I believe it would have cost around £400. I did not go with them. My son in law is the Sales Manager at a Main Dealer and they done the job for me. Not always "what you know", more like "who you know." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes, John

Gerry Have just had my S-Type done. A new sill to the O/S , all of the underside prepped and cleaned and then treated with HM Kurust and Treated with Black Tetroseal/Wax Rustproof. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Brent, Welcome to the Forum. You mention Blue Smoke and Turbo. The two could well be connected could. Turbo could be on its way out, possibly bearings, seals. Most of which could lead to blue smoke from that area. As for smell of diesel, can you trace any diesel leaking from anywhere? Best Wishes and Regards, John

Keith, Welcome and enjoy your car. Best Wishes and Regards, John
