1999 Defender 110 Td5 SW Caledonian Blue

Exhaust fumes

Is it normal to have a quite strong fumes from the exhaust at idle?
Stood behind the 110 before while at idle and there was a strong fume smell that you could feel on the eyes.
Is this burning off oil/diesel or just a standard td5 thing ? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I'd say so, there is 2 of us (td5 owners) at work and they do 'pollute'.

Mine doesn't smell of fumes at idle.
I'd check all the usual suspects, air filter, MAF & MAP sensor, see if the EGR is stuck or gunked up (if still on) etc.

My EGR is blanked off and will clean MAP sensor. Dont have the correct tools to measure the MAF, so will have to check the voltage 1999 Defender TD5 110

All mine have done this with cat removed. It's makes your eyes water and give you a good cough.

Eyes watering may be a result of the end of an icon?

Mine smells quite a bit too
