Yesterday I did a 140 mile round trip and as I was just reversing to park my car the whole front of the car got covered in smoke and smell of oil was everywhere. In close inspection it looked as though the pipe has snapped dropping all the oil on the exhaust causing the smoke. 3 hours later and car was taken to a garage and this morning I was informed that the pipe wasn't properly inserted into its bracket and as a result it was touching the exhaust which melted it and blah blah....
So my car is in the garage trying to find the right part which having looked at Eurospare's website looks approximately £17 but I need to know the right part number to order etc. which means I would be without my car for a few days which I am not at all hapy about as you can probably guess. When RAC turned up I was tempted to take the car home and try to fix it myself but he advised me that it might be a bit complicated to get to as it goes all around the engine.
Last thing I ever expected but apparently is common! anyone else had this?
