Although it may not be pertinent, there exists a fuse for the audio/BVC module/DAB module located in the engine bay, specifically fuse 43, rated at 15 amps.

Re: Intermittent Emission of Black Smoke.

The white smoke is much denser than water vapour.

It is vital to connect this at this juncture. I want to bring this to A1 in Cardiff, since it is the nearest location to me.


I will provide an update whenever I get a report.
