ok so, tonight i was driving down the road and i started to feel the car running poor. pulled up at my house and it was very smokey so turned it off, checked the water and its a bit low (last time i topped it up was quite a while ago) the oil on the dipstick is still black and the water is still clear, then i started it up again and it chucked lots of white smoke out again so turned it streight off. Had a bit of a check round, started it back up and the smoke had stopped but it was still running rough at idle but sorts its self out once it gets above 1k revs. |
