Thanks Lee.

I bought my car supposedly with a working FBH which I was unable to use due to the billowing clouds of white smoke emanating from the exhaust and of course it wouldn't get up to any sort of heat.

The boys in the Midlands sorted it out for me after describing it as the most coked up, sooted up one they had ever worked on.

Unfortunately when refitted there was still loads of white smoke emitting from it caused by the fact that the exhaust / silencer was also chock a block full of soot which meant that the exhaust had to be exchanged for a new/2nd hand one.

Once that was changed it has worked perfectly with no smoke coming out at all when it is on.

So it might well be that your exhaust is also sooted up and needs cleaning out before you are able to get rid of the white smoke and get full operation from the FBH.
