Been driving on the M4o today from London to Birmingham.
On the way back noticed smoke coming from the ashtray (R33). I quickly pulled over and thought the car was on fire!!! But it was all safe.
Also the leather boot for the gearknob was all very hot and as I have a MOMO gearknob, the lower metal part was also very hot.
Now I suspect this to be the exhaust getting too hot. I have a NISMO SS full system.
Has anyone else had this problem especially with a NISMO exhaust, or am I thinking the wrong thing. Could it be something else.
And above all how can it be solved, and should there be a heat shield in the transmission tunnel???
And this is the first time its happened. Never happens on short runs.
I need to know before my car catches alight!!!!
Thanking all of you in advance
