Similar wheels on my bus, I have 205/60-16 tyres all round.

A bit dirtier than yours but in daily use.

I haven't had to touch my carb since I fitted it. I have fitted a catch can though as I didn't want any condensation going into my clean carb. I blanked off the inlet from breather tower as I use my bus every day all year round. As for fuel economy! 😅😅 couldn't tell you. When it gets low I just put ...

Had a similar issue with my bus a couple of weeks ago driving home from work. Van stuttered, (aftermarket) rev counter went mad and van died. Unplugged rev counter. Wouldn't start. Fitted spare coil I always carry. Started straight up. Connected rev counter and it would'nt fire. Unplugged rev counte...

White/ grey smoke can also be caused by a dodgy injector.
Had similar issue on a friends Land Rover 300tdi.
