Okay, I'll try to break this down into parts.
Basically I was driving in 3rd gear at about 6-7000rpm when I heard a noise. Looked in my mirror and saw a cloud of smoke behind me. I then began to smell something which I can't describe (it was bad) and from then on the temperature at my feet (under the steering wheel) was very warm.
I then drive home and parked.
About 2 hours later I got back in my car and turned to key to start the engine. The car started INSTANTLY. It usually starts after no more than 1-2 seconds of cranking, but this was absolutely instant. Then the exhausts started puffing white smoke for about 1 minute (smoke looked just like te smoke from when I had been driving earlier). So all seemed fine.
I then drive about 20 minutes to a petrol station to fill up. after getting back in the car, I turned the key and it wouldn't start on the first attempt. Almost failed on the second but eventually fired up.
I have owned the car for 5 months and have only ever had to try a second attempt a starting the car one time other than tonight.
Anybody have any idea what caused the white smoke at high rpm in third gear? And when my car started puffing smoke for about 1 minute after I started it up again before getting petrol, was that it sort of cleaning itself out, similar to when you deflood the 8?
Sorry for the massive story, just wanted to be as detailed as possible.
Thanks in advance!
