Leaks & Noises
Engine is the 2.7 td gear driven,car starts on the button and runs fine upto 50 mph with no smoke,if i try to go over 50 it holds back and has a misfire.
Every time you get the misfire you get a puff of blue smoke out the tail pipe.
If you hold it a 55mph in 5th gear you get a smell of exhaust fumes inside the car if you have the window down but surely it should go out the back.
Have changed the fuel filter but know change,not sure if these have a cat fitted which could be blocked or a dodgey egr valve.Any help as i can,t seem to cure it and its a dam good car.

Certainly wouldn't do any harm checking EGR valve and cleaning if carboned up .
