Get the throttle body cleaned, the butterfly gets gunk up with oil deposits and blocks the air gap between the butterfly outer edge and the body wall. even if there's not much on there it makes a big difference.

You might find it's the alternator regulator kicking a bit slower than it used to, i would get the garage to check the alternator under a great load just as a precaution.

Most of the time it's the key. the transponder on the board suffers from hair line crack on the solder. some times if you take key apart you can push down on the transponder and it will work. you can get a decoder now which fits into the EOBD socket and then you don't have to have the chip in...

What do you mean? The fan does not work or the temp does not change?

Do the revs pic up when it looses power? where is the bight point of the clutch? Just thinking if its a slipping clutch.

First check the engine coolant level, then warm the van up and make sure both heater hoses are getting warm, if they are it may be the cable for the heater box temp control which has come adrift. should be easy enough to see just under the dash.

Sounds like a possible disconnected/holed inter-cooler hose. if it is this the smoke is from the engine over fueling and not getting the correct amount of air due to it being lost.get someone to rev the car for you whilst you have a look and try and see if can see the fault.

Sometimes the pistons have to be wound back in a certain direction or they wont go back. I wouldn't be tempted to use mole grips or gas pliers as more than...

It's the multi-function relay on the n/s inner wing by the battery. These stick and this relay runs the fuel pump etc. Not alot of £ from the dealer. Give it a smack with something when the ignition is on.
