Also a hint as to make, model and engine wouldn't go amiss  ;)


It's an Alabama Mumsy Bus.  Didn't you know?  ;D
It isn't as it happens  ;D

Ah... So if you buy it, what will you call it?  Old Smokey?  ;D

The Dolly Trolley... :D

Although, at 270ish bhp, that might be a touch satirical  :-\

Obviously it doesn't quite have the same amount of room for activities as the Alabama Mumsybus...

Cant see it being stuck rings, that only occurs due to carbon deposits or corrosion, you dont stop an engine which is operating ok (and if it was carbon it wouldn't have been ok) and then this suddenly happens unless water is getting in somewhere and then they smoke a good heavy blue tint.

White smoke is, and can only be, water from some source, that might be coolant but, could equally be a wet inlet or a wet exhaust.

That's reassuring :y The fact it is clearing during the second viewing certainly points to the latter of the two.

Also, am I right in thinking that Bank 2 Sensor 1 is down stream of the cat, ie the rear most sensor :-\

Nope, sensor 1 is always the primary mixture control sensor, any higher numbers are emmission monitoring sensors (e.g. post cat)

Yep, well, inbetween the head and cat as some setups fix the sensor into the combined channel at the exit of the manifold
