Oh ****.....Smoke!
Took my car for a spin yesterday ans she seemed fine, got in her today and after 10 mins i was sat at traffic lights and there was smoke coming out of the bonnet scoop!
I pulled over asap, opened the bonnet, and there was loads of smoke coming from drivers side. From around the air filter and turbo area, and it smelt awful!
On closer inspection my car has deveolped a ticking noise that wasnt there yesterday as well, no c.e.l though!
Any ideas people, im currently ****ting it!

Just had to do my rocker cover smoked when you stop and stinks of burning oil. Shine a torch down by the air filter on to the exhaust below and you will see if it’s dry or wet. Or jack it up and look from underneath I just took the original gasket off and resealed it.
It’s a swine to get at mind

Looks like a coolant leak to me, going to my mates garage at 3 so fingers crossed!

Bang on the money pal, but we found the leak in the first pipe we looked at, lucky or what?
Sorted now, just in time for weekend
Big thanks people
