Hi again, been away for a while! So I lent my s3 to my brother and it came back with the exhaust split in 2 and the bracket off! Also the spring when you push the gear lever to the left to select reverse is gone. All gears are working fine. Is the spring just sticking and needs grease...

Not sure what it is, but every so often my 2.25d will start to rattle and put out white smoke. If i ignore it and keep driving it clears after 30sec - 1min. I noticed it first 2 times when i was very low on diesel so thought it picked up dirt or air in from the tank, but last time I was 3/4...

just drove 7 miles, last 100yrds sparks coming from exhaust, one or two intermitently till reved, then a shower. black smoke when revved hard which clears. is it a big deal? kinda thinking its coming from the exhaust box itself, carbon burning up? BTW its a 2.25 diesel. James

Finally! my s3 is insured and on the road, so was driving about in it today. Great fun! till i hit patches of snow/ice, then its like trying to steer a wonky shopping trolley! It just takes a dive to the right, thankfully ist too icy to go quick so not an issue. However it does need sorting...
