Thanks Neil.

Just downloaded all five shots that you took of her coming off.

Did not get chance to talk to you after the engine prob. Believe that it was a HGF, but it must have been a big one judging by the smoke.

What are your plans now?

Havn't stripped the head off yet, but suspect HGF. All the smoke would have been the oil/water mix spraying straight onto the manifold. Hopefully rest will be OK as engine was switched off immediately.

Gave me one h*ll of a fright, thought the car was on fire!!!

First time I have ever caused a red flag in my trackday career!

Such a shame Paul as the car looked stunning!

Fingers crossed for an easy fix :thumbsup
