  • Paranoia time!!

    Right guys I know I'm going to sound paranoid but I just wondered if anyone had there car out today
    I started mine this evening and it seemed really smokey/steamy, so much so I could hardly reverse as it was blocking my view in the wing mirror
    Just thought it might be the cold weather or what

            I think we all get a bit paranoid with these cars Ian, it's the nature of the beast.

              Yes I know Trev, I've been pretty relaxed of late though
              Whatever happens...happens

                I think with these old motors you're looking for every little thing, thinking there will be a big bill attached. Makes you wonder why we do it, but I wouldn't be without mine.

                  Why do newer cars not smoke in this weather though
                  I was in the wife's car there and it's fine

                  Maybe cause there used regulars I guess

                    My Mondeo smokes every time you start it up from cold. But then it has done 130,000 miles, and it's diesel, so I guess it's allowed to.

                          Nowt bad about cold weather.....colder the better, air's a lot denser (and that doesn't mean it's thick! Lol)

                          Had mine out today.....but not for the enjoyment! Just fitted two new inner track rod bars and was checking the steering, plus I had to put in some fuel......AGAIN
