white clouds of smoke...

[markbg]

signalled the end of militaryodyssey for me - were not sure what happenwd yet but whilst driving down to odyssey we noticed a very loud humming noise coming fri

the engine bay this was the followed by clouds of white smoke or steam coming out of the engine bay - on later inspection it looks like the water pump belt has also come off plus the coolant system has a bad leak

 

the good news that was the last show i was going to do apart from lee's end of season bash - maybe be able to get it sorted by then

 

anyway i had a good season with the Fox - he'll be back

Don't sound good mate.. at least when you get it into the unit you can get everything sorted ready for next season..

indeed - at least ive now got a transpoter thars cheap so ill arrange to bring him up soon - i knew it was a risk running it this year without overhauling first but war and peace was one if the best times uve ever had so im not regretting it one bit

White smoke is usually ahead gasket or cylinder head or block. Same happened to me last year,the cylinder head is a bit heavy but is not to hard to do.
