Can't quite believe it :D I have hardly used the banana in the last prob almost 6mths partly due to the winter but mainly because I've developed smoking on idle. I wasn't really expecting anything bad as the engine was a new build beginning of last year but its still a bit worrying. It looked like turbo issues as it was unburnt (greyish) oil type smoking but the turbo is nearly new so I couldn't understand it. Work and life stresses have been the order of the day for a while and I've not had time or inclination to mess about with the car apart from giving it a wizz every so often to keep it sweet and see if the smoke miracuously dissapeared!:)

We are moving to a new rented house in a few weeks and I didn't want to rock up with a loud AND smoking beast so I thought I'd try to work out whats going on. I pulled off the intake filter the other day and found the oil return tube was quite badly kinked. To start with I didn't go any furthur as I thought it best to speak with Geff at Reworx as they built it. I figured premature turbo seals failure was a possibility. Anyway after having a chat I went out and moved the return tube so it wasn't kinked and now its sorted :D :D I've probably only done 20 or 30 miles in the last 6mths because of that lol!! I reckon it must have changed shape from the heat whilst going around silverstone and got kinked up.

Well done mate, I am made up for ya :duffer:

Nice one Royal, the best repairs are the free ones!

 

When are you going to scare me in the banana?

Well done mate, will be great to see the banana in action once again. :hyper:

 

 

All the best with the house move :D

Sure are, Like the Turbo on one side not giving full boost because the pipe wasn’t on properly. :D

Thanks guys, I'm chuffed. Anyone who wants a demo (--does darth vader voice--) 'of the fully operational Yellow banana' is welcome :-) Off to get the MOT tomorrow.

If I didn't have a Z it would be a RX7, nice. :D
