cheers mate just realised
Watching this post, a bit concerning to read, having just bought an E51Hi All
New to the forum as need some advice really. Have had E51 since last June but been off the road since December as it began spluttering and then just died. Couldnt get it started again and had it towed away. The garage has spent last 6 months looking at it periodically and dont know what is wrong with it. They have got it going again, drive it, gets seriously hot, load of smoke out of the exhaust and thats that. Then i see the past above and i wonder if that could be it. Before the cats get blocked, would there be shuddering and lack of response? I think I will point the above post out to them.
The mechanics said that there is excessive fuel getting into the system but they dont know where it is coming from. I know i havent given too much info here, but any advice would be greatly welcomed as only drove it for 5 months and now been off road for 6!
Nothing to be concerned about if it has been decatted. If it hasn't and it's running fine get it done NOW.Watching this post, a bit concerning to read, having just bought an E51
They all do that sir.Mine have been removed, but white smoke on startup
Is it actually smoke? They do kick out a shit load lot of condensation particularly when it's cold out...Mine have been removed, but white smoke on startup
Thanks, it's being done before I collect it!Nothing to be concerned about if it has been decatted. If it hasn't and it's running fine get it done NOW.
There will be plenty of garages in your area that will do it for you. I can't recommend any in your area but a quick phone around will find you 1 in a jiffy. I hate traders that refuse to de cat. It would make me take my business else where.Just about to do a deal on a 3.5 rider autech on eBay but the seller refuses to decore rear cats due to "legal" reasons...fair enough i guess. As mentioned in my intro post I'm based in Oxford could anyone recommend someone who could do the work if i do go ahead with the purchase ?
Yeah, any Elgrand dealer specialist won't have a problem sorting the rear cats, I'd be hesitant buying from a garage that wouldn't be willing to do that work.
Any decent exhaust fabricator will be able to sort them for you or go for an exchange set from @Winchester
