Hello, everyone. First post.
While my son spends a year abroad, I have become the custodian of his 2007 2.0 diesel, which I find an absolute pleasure to drive. Recently, however, it has started running a bit roughly when accelerating from low revs in a high gear, and there is noticeable smoke when accelerating away after idling at traffic lights. Does anybody have any idea whether this is a simple fix? He is returning quite soon. Do I bite the bullet and book it in, or simply say to the lad "It was ok when I used it last"!!! Performance is still fine, and the car still returns well over 45mpg and occasionally over 50 when I drive like an elderly spinster.
Many thanks in advance.
Iain
