following on from last nights post I've just been out in the car again and it basically keeps stalling and I'm getting a regular puff puff puff coming out of one of the exhausts - also I think a bit of oil?
The bonnet area also smells of burnt something?

Only spent 2k on it two weeks ago

Any ideas people?

It could be valves closing up. Tickover too low. It's hard to diagnose on a MSG board. Does it rattle? Does it tick on acceleration/idle. Why dont you take it back to the people you spent your hard earned on and get them to take a look and sort it? Good Luck.

doesn't rattle or tick - major concern is the smell of burning oil. When I put my foot down it goes fine but its when I stop it cuts out every time.

Get the garage that did the work to send a trailer!
It's too much of a coincidence - loose hose or summat?

Can't you take the main bonnet off and have a look-see?
