i'm not expert but uh....i'd check the engine oil level...

could be a blown head gasket - quite a common fault... check under the oil cap for mayo... Also the antifreeze may have turned red if you had any in the water.

It wouldnt have made the temp rise to the red tho i woulda thought

White smoke is condensation in the exhaust fumes. Blue is burning oil...

water pump may be faulty or the belt that drives it slack
thermo stat on the radiator knackered
possible blocked radiator
hoses all ok? no cracks, kinks etc?
all that smoke though....blown head gasket but then u say oil etc all ok, no mayo in the cap.....

as for the turbo allys, does it require spacers? should fit straight on

bugger, the slower typist busted by the luke...

but there no white smoke any more thats wot cant understand

i think on the mk2 they rub without spacers on full lock

yea they do rub would this fit me uno http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...555410937&rd=1

ahhh see now there you have it, i have owned a load of uno's, but not only have i never owned a mk2, i havent worked on one or even sat in one...you know i should have whilst at stanford.....i'm missing out arent i?

Sort of, it will need a pipe reducer into the backbox. the exhaust hangers are in the right place tho

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...556327899&rd=1 wot about this

You are indeed

yea they will too, although a couple of gauges wont work (boost inparticular) and you need to add an extra wire for the rev counter

Just condensation that has gone away now.

Check for "sweating" at the cooling pipes and thermostat. Looks like white rust basically at the connections. I dunno what that means though - what does it mean?

Nothing bad i hope, cos my radiator pipe has got that near where it joins the filler cap
