Just when everything seemed to be improving, my engine has taken to scaring the living daylights out of me and everyone else in my neighbourhood. This morning at first turn of the key, a gun shot rang out along with a cloud of smoke/fumes. This evening it has just done the same. Now after warmup the exhaust note sounds a bit different. What could be causing this? I'm thinking perhaps an exhaust valve thats not sealing properly, or perhaps an exhaust leak? The engine runs absolutely fine after the one backfire so perhaps it isn't a valve- its a bit scary though. Any ideas much appreciated before me back end drops off!
