transit smoking

[bowesyb5syncro]

got a w reg 2.5d swb tranny for the last few months or so its bin rough in the morning smoking quite bad its more like greyish smoke and when i let foot off accelrator when coming up to a junction etc its blue smoke its not too bad when warmed up but the last couple of weeks its got worse if i hold revs about 1500 to 2000 revs there are clouds of smoke and its white/greyish and its very lumpy running mot is due soon and wondering if its an injector or something worse oh and mileage is 190k with fsh

Blue or greyish smoke generally means worn piston rings, valve seals or valve guides. Get your cheque book out


Oh, and get it done before it gets worse

Sounds like the timing and belt need checking, followed by the injectors
