smokin

A bit alarmed after refueling following a fairly spirited drive today, the car (916 spider 2.0 TS) was turned off and I came back from paying for the fuel to find smoke pouring out from under the bonnet. I pulled the battery, checked under the bonnet and found most of it seemed to be coming from...

Recently bought a 2003 twinnie with the top of the engine rebuilt - new belts, variator, pump, plugs etc. and a new looking exhaust. I since spent quite a bit replacing the brakes, fitting Eibach springs, KYB dampers, new powerflexed rear end, new spring pans. Got a new mot taxed and insured...

Hi, My 2.4 JTD is a bit of a smoker. Especially when pressing on. Also there seems to be a little resistance when pressing accelerator in 2nd or 3rd gear at approx 2500rpm. Apart from this its running nice and smooth, aprt from the embarrassing cloud of black smoke I leave at junctions...

My Bella is poorly, pulled away this mornng and could feel the brakes dragging a bit at the back (first time - was fine last night), by the time I could get off the main road and turn round there was smoke coming off the rear nearside caliper. I guess the rear caliper has seized, are the rear...

New side indicators fitted yesterday, purchased from the fine AO shop! :D Decided on the smoked instead of the clear (white) or the crystal. The crystal IMO is for German cars. Clear or white would look good on Alfa lipstick red :p , powderpuff blue :p , etc, - the brighter colours...
