Same thing happened to my mk2 jag, took me while to find out what it was. I thought the engine was knackered at there was LOTS of smoke - it was like someone had stuck a smokebomb up the exhaust.

You will now have a nice clean engine though :lol:

Happened to my Centura also only the other week. Got to the bottom of a steep hill everyday and smoke would be pouring out the underneath of my car. I thought it was on fire the first couple of times and then just used to it and laugh until I can get it fixed.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
