I thought it had escaped the exhaust manifold.
A decent rule of thumb for stopping this issue is to stuff rags into all the ports and other openings.

When my dad was a haulage contractor, we expected him to handle all the insurance needs. He had a fleet of 40–50 trucks, including 3x Caterpillars, various vans, a Land Rover, and four or five cars in the household. We also had property insurance for our house and business premises. After selling th...

One hundred seventy horsepower is the standard power output of the subsequent facelift. However, the 400Nm of stock torque at low rpm is what really makes driving easy. Celtic claims it can increase the power to 214 bhp and 496 Nm. I was taken aback by its bravery when I purchased ours; now I wouldn...

I thought the 211 646 was the last 642 to have a DPF installed; maybe they waited for the 646 to be replaced by the 651 before adding them to the 642. From London to near Ashbourne, we covered about 170 miles at an accurate 58mpg. By the time we made it home along the A highways of Derbyshire, that ...

In comparison to the 642, I find the 4 pot om646 to be more dependable. It pulls well when mapped and has a 15–20% improvement in fuel economy. Someone recently brought up the fact that some of them had the alloy rear sub frame, which has to be the better option in the long run. If this isn't done, ...

They wouldn't have much use if they did. At very high soot levels, a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration is activated, which involves burning off the collected soot. The soot is reduced to a minimal quantity of ash and gas by heating the exhaust gas to a temperature of around 500 to 600°C. ...

Two problems, in my opinion, exist here. The problem with the subframe becomes apparent when it starts to decay internally. A gaping hole in the subframe will be visible upon initial inspection. Based on your description, the MOT recommendation is about external surface rust, which is an entirely se...

No dealer worth their salt would suggest an addition, in my opinion. Spend your money wisely and change the oil every five thousand miles. Many additives are used in modern oil.

I still use it on a few of my older vehicles, and my M119 uses 15W50 synthetic.
