on starting the Tuscan on sat.clouds of acrid smoke billowed out from under the bonnet,i was convinced I was on fire!!,but the smoke died down and finally stopped,not daring to try starting again I had it towed to big col.
anyone else experienced anything like this? hasn't been looked at yet.

I well I was in the embarrassing position of right slap bang in front of the doors of a large retail shop,i had pictures of having to evacuate the shop get the cars either side of me to move ect!!! might have made the local paper lol.
I think being in the air box the fire just sort of starved itself of air?
