good shout Jay definite imptovement loads less smoke too soon to say if the bit I saw is residual I will put some more injector cleaner and give it a run and change the fuel filter this week to see if that helps too ... bit by bit I am getting nthere but definite definite improvement / cure of the personal smoke cloud
