I assume you have a decatted exhaust?

The pops and bangs are basically unburnt fuel in the exhaust igniting,
nothing to concern yourself over really.

Could mean your running slightly rich, but that's better than lean!

Most cars chuck some unburt fuel out, especially when booted.

I drove all the way to Banbury after having my oil change done at
API, because the Tesco Green Energy site said that they had it.

Got their and pulled up on the forecourt, no bloody 99RON

I sent a very arsey email to Tesco customer services to make them
aware and had it removed from the site.

As an appology the cheeky buggers sent me a baseball cap.......

With bloody "Tesco 99RON" written on it !!!!!
