Hi,

Am trying to find a mechanic who knows about Ford Transits. Have a 2000 Ford Duetto with a 2.5l mk5 Diesel Turbo and need some advice/help. Am in the Worthing, West Sussex area. Thank you in advance

What do you need to know?

Very few people know about the Lucas EPIC system anymore.

You might get lucky with auto marine diesels in Hove, but if not I may well be the closest :shock:

I have white smoke on acceleration after about 10 mins. No oil or coolant loss or over heating.

Thats unusual.

White smoke can be vaporised diesel

It could be an injector issue, or timing (although if you still have the original type injection pump, any timing issues will put it in to limp mode)
