the smoke issuing from my exhaust was due to bad electronics, changed back to normal unit, got error codes removed and car worked fine,

sorry i dont think i typed my last post very clearly as was keeping an eye on my manager  :embarassed:

You had smoke from your exhaust due to bad electronics and it was your stereo?  :huh:

worst it would have done would be permanently live, causing a battery drain
