Think my rear turbo seal has gone, not too sure just what the other thread was going on about.

when I start the car it seams ok till i put my foot down, then I leave a lot of smoke behind me, smells alot too. after about 5/10 mins it stops and all is fine it only does it first thing when its cold.

does it sound like them?

If it is them is it ok too drive and how much will it cost for parts?

"Sounds like your problem is actually breather related. Could do with replacing the PCV valves, associated hoses with the valves, and the actual breather pipes that come off the top of the rocker covers at the front of the engine... The breather pipes have a gauze filter in them which clogs over time and they stop breathing..." andy duff

 

is there a help file on doing these pipes?

To do the PCV valves you will need a pair of long needle nose pliars.

 

The hardest bit about them is the clips are very hard to get to especially at the back.

 

New valves and pipes can be ordered via traders on this site and shouldn't take took long to fit. I would suggest getting as much out of the way first before attempting to take the old pipes off.

 

With the current exchange rate you could get them from Z1 motor sports for silly cheap money or Mike Feeny or DTA (Danny Zatt).

 

Guide to fitting can be found here http://www.ttzd.com/tech/pcvtech.html
