So I stopped and switched off !
Hi All
I have my Discovery III TDV6 S 2006 'on tour' in Europe and she's been fabulous as a tour vehical, until 1) the virus stopped the touring; 2) I had a reconditioned gearbox fitted by a Greek garage.
200 miles after picking it up after the gearbox work, she's running very well, no loss of power, smooth idle and running; but a plume of white mist, smelling strongly of Fuel drifting out of the gap between fuse box and LHS injectors (LHS looking forward).
There's too much obstruction to see where it is coming from while I'm at the side of the road, so I'll start dismantling the wiring loom, etc that obstructs the view, after I've checked with you good people.
I suspect a leak from the high pressure rail or an injector, but I'm surprised by the fine mist, rather than a spurt of more liquid fuel. Also, the car is running well??
I was confident in the Greek garage who seemed professional (and btw very expensive), until I checked under the bonnet and found an oily rag lodged at the side of the fuse-box. I'm hoping that perhaps there's another oily rag causing the mist - but I think not!
I've searched the forum for anything similar, but drew a reletive blank, so maybe not a common problem (or my search capability is uncommonly rubbish).
Any initial ideas on what I'm facing. Any pointers to previous posts that I should look at?
I can't drive as the mist is likely to be very flamable, so any thoughts would be very welcome.
Best
Paul
