Put some new plugs in. new alternator in as bat light was on all the time.
(thats solved that problem).. fired up sweet bit smokey but no where near as bad as yesterday. seems to be ideling ok now but when you touch the throttle it dies out abit then go's back to normal unless you press it very gently?. i love rs turbo's there so unpredictable !!
