Default Smoking

Hi

i know in this weather all cars smoke but the S seems to be doing it quite a bit - i am hoping this is normal?

Just trying to get used to the quirks of the car and not worry over every slightist thing.

Also my was doing the revs dropping thing which was sorted out another thread - does anyone exactly what fuse it is you pull out and how long to leave it out for?

cheers

Andy
