Hi, im having problems with my mini smoking, it just started yesterday and its quite bad. I was just wondering what it could be.


very hot or burning oil makes the smoke *wink*


or maybe it has an unhealthhy addiction to nicoteen.

put a nicotine patch on the head just under the thermostat housing. that should cure the smoking.

Wyns 'stop smoke' is VERY effective for around 200-600 miles. If it starts smoking again, you know it's the bores.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

well its working very well, its not used a drop of oil since putting it in!! smokes a little bit when cold, but only for about a minuet idling, then its ok!

Should be alright to keep using it until turbo engines ready *happy*

Just make sure you nurse the engine... If you work it hard, it'll soon start smoking.
That's a good tip for finding out if an potential purchase has been 'wynned' - drive it hard (if the owner will let you - lol)
