Joey said:Not sure about you hose/plug issue, but the cause of your smoking is typical of most Rovers and I am suprised that most of the people on here haven't seen it... it is caused by the ECU running the engine too rich. When you accelarate hard you are dumping more gas in the engine that it can burn at any one time....which is giving you the smoke issue.
That is why when they rechip the ECU they reset the throttle response in the mid and high range or the throttle possition.
Too rich is *usually* seen as black smoke, not grey. Grey can indicate worn rings etc. If you are running so rich that you can see smoke it's usually black and it stinks.
