Re: Must have been trying to tell me something
Car now home. No mayo in wire filters. No residual on top of cam ladder. Can mayo vanish as it’s been sat in the car park for two weeks ? It will start, run for a couple of mins, stutter and die.

Re: Smoke
It’s my daily. Had only been sat overnight. White with a hint of grey maybe. On the drive home the previous day I thought I detected a brief smell of oil but this vanished as quickly as I noticed it.
