Smoking in the cabin

[hoyin]

just took the car out - haven't taken it out for a long time.

Drove about 2 mins and smell smoke. Soon the cabin is filled with smoke and I pull over.

Any ideas? Seems to be coming from the front? A binded brake? But I never park in the garage with the handbrake on.

Seemed to be coming from the front into the cabin.

Stopped now waiting for AA man.

My initial thoughts are thinking smoke's coming from the front is a red herring. It's more likely oil on a hot exhaust or a blown oil seal/pipe on a hot turbo and its creeping in forward of the cabin. Good luck, let us know.

When I had just had the wrap put on the exhaust the smoke was really bad as it was drying, but never came into cabin.
Does it smell like burning ? Maybe electrical.
Could just be steam from coolant pipe

You are right. It is from the turbo closest to the cabin.

Just had them refurbished and this is the first time I have taken the car out since brining it back.

Going to have to give Bespoke a call on Monday :-(.

Was meant to be going to Wales with the boys this coming Friday.

Bespoke arranged for car to be picked up.

Tightened everything up, fixed a puncture I picked up as well and adjusted my idle and dropped the car back in time for Wales.

Spent the whole weekend burning around Wales and everything seems to be back to normal. Gosh I love this car, thanks to Martin, Skip and Scott for sorting everything out so quickly. Excellent service from the guys again.

Would have been a boring weekend if I didn't take the Noble!
