Collected my new Tuscan today and very impressed with the way it drive and feels, massive I
Improvement to my old chimaera. However a couple of issues.

Car smoking when hot idling which stops once you drive away.. Wasn't doing it on test drive but has just been serviced, not sure if is been over filled with oil

Secondly, intermittent EFI warning on dash, not sure I these are related.

Both issues occurred once I had driven the 60 miles back from the dealer. I have emailed the dealer and expect them to be fixed under warranty, but wanted an idea of what could be the problem..

Cheers.

Not noticed any codes, I'll check tonight.

Yes smoking from exhaust, and had a power rebuild in 2003 at 10300miles, now has 42k on the clock.

Thanks for responses so far.

Have been emailing the dealer and spoken to him so I have everything in writing just incase, but he is a well respected trader in the TVR world.

He has just said to see how it goes over the weekend and if still bad he will arrange to collect and do what is needed.

Wondered if I should get it independently checked?

Quick update, smoke mainly coming from drivers side exhaust which is sottied up a fair bit so could be simply a fueling issue, anyway it's off to Dom on Friday to get diagnosed and sorted.

Be nice to get it back up and running, already become very attached to it and a far far superior car the the chimaera. IMHO
