Re: White smoke

I’m a strong believer, that modern oil, washes the carbon build up, around the piston rings, that increasing the seal.
So, till this build’s up again, you may get smoke

thanks its just they have no colour samples to compare the colour and if it was mixed and wrong could end up in a problem
I’ve taken the petrol flap into CARS ‘s , mix/match rattle cans to suit. To get the perfect match.

May be you could find a local supplier to do the same.

Re: Headlamps

Remember :idea: You can raise the headlights on the switch. Pull the RETA yellow 20amp, from the main fuse board under the hood. The headlight units will stay up. Allowing you to turn off the switch, to change bulb, or headlight units. But, BEWARE :!:, putting back the fuse, the lids will snap close...
