Hello.

Today i noticed blue smoke billowing out the back end when i was setting off from the lights after idleing for a few minutes, this happened the other month so i changed my ccv's. The cars fine when it's going along and when i put my foot down there's no smoke.

I'm hoping it's not stem seals ( 103k ), is there anything else i can check to eliminate this problem, like breather pipes or something. It's an 04 4.4

Thanks.

is it using any oil?

I've just checked now, it's at the max mark

I got the oil and filter changed at the begining of april.

It's due an mot next month, will this effect the mot in any way?

shouldnt do as long as it will pass the emission s test

.....and of course they don't rev the bolts off petrol engines either..

Can't say I have ever believed that particular test is really necessary. I always insist on watching the test and letting the tester know that I expect him to properly warm up the engine first (and let it run for a little while after so the turbo bearings don't roast!). Seems very unsympathetic mechanically..
