Re: bang and black smoke

Thanks for all your advice. It was started up again without incident and exhaust changed into a healthier colour. Took it onto road to give a proper drive but didn't get more than round the block as it kept cutting out. Yesterday it was transported off to a garage for some TLC!

So do you think it would be ok to start up again and take out for a quick run? I know nothing about cars!

bang and black smoke

Getting a 1967 series one 4.2 e type that I have inherited running again.
