she's booked in at the dr's tomorrow, what's the symptom's?

warter in the engine? hope she's ok.

Lew

mine does that when you first start in up when its cold, one big puff of white smoke, i was told not to worry but i am so gonna take it somewhere else to get it checked out. Let me know what the out come is please mate, fingers crossed

easy way to tell if you got water in oil take off the oil and rad cap if it looks like mayonaise under there its head gasket

bloody hell you only just got it and your paranoid already.

dont follow this way of thinking or youll wind up like RED M

as has been said its probably just condensation in the exhaust the night temps are going down now.

Jazz why do you need an engine the car never goes anywhere?:D:search:

(joking)

Rich

checked the oil no mayonaise or salad cream, the colour of the oil is like a very light brown color, when i say a big cloud i mean like when you pour loads of lighter jell on a bbq, then it dies down

thatll be haitch two oh!

I'm not paranoid. My Supra is a shed. A 170+mph shed granted but a shed nonetheless.

edit: sorry i dont think vid is working

dam there not working i did have a crack in my radiator it was at the top right next to where you fill it up however it wasnt bad also was patched and no warter was leaking into the engine, there was some coming out the top but not alot i did keep check its warter level and its never gone down.

WATER.

(sorry, couldn't help it ).

if a bit has gotten into the engine will it flush out and end of, or does the storey go once warter is in the engine pull out your check book and start working satardays?

What was that again?

For God's sake tell me it's the drink, every thing's gone blurry. I am not on a Nova forum by mistake, am I?

Only if we both "stumbled" across it at the same time
