Smokey start up? plus bodyshop?

[Frost]

Two things?


1) When i start my EGI up the morning i get a big puff of smoke.. it looks white with a ever so slight blue tinge.. I\'m presuming its just a lil bit of oil as it doesn\'t smoke after about 10 seconds.
Just want to make sure everything is OK.
She runs well and pulls strong and never misses a beat.

2) I\'m also in need of alot of body repair to get done.
Someone tapped my rear wheel arch :Grrr and its now dented, ive got some rust patches nothing to major.. i hope.
I will be after a full body respray aswell.

So i was wondering if anyone knew of any good bodyshops near and around Reading?

I know its going to be exspensive but i thought i would put my pay rise somewhere i love and its not the Mrs haha.

Thanks guys

How are coolant levels - is it losing coolant at all ?
 
If the smoke clears after 10 secs or so it\'s probably just the usual smoke on startup.  It could be coolant - but it usually smokes for longer, and it smells sweet - but then at startup rotaries are a bit \'fumey\' anyway so would be hard to tell.

Must be the usual smokey start... coolant is fine and oil consumption seems reasonable.

Just need a good body shop now.

Cheers prof.

Was gonna say - if it looks anything like this, and your coolant does as mine does in the vid, be scared....

I don\'t have that problem, i check levels nearly everyday and i hardly have to top up. Was just wondering and a lil bit concerned about the smoke on start up... she is fine once warm.
Cheers for the lil enlighten. I will keep an eye out for that.

Ive got a tester somewhere to test if there is emisions in the coolant.
Might hunt for it at the weekend... burried in garage somewhere.
