    1: are you sure its smoke and not "steam" as its pretty cold outside at the moment.

    2: did the car come with a manual?

    3: do you have holes to fit them in? does all of the interior match "in case" anyone has swapped out the recaros

    If the car has been standing for a while mate chances are theres water in the back box and its steam from it evaporating from the heat

    Couldnt find anything in the manuals about changing the outside temp settings.

    im assuming that its smoke coming out of the right hand exhaust - if its steam wouldnt both do this?

    i have a centre headrest but the left and right ones are missing. and yes - there are holes in the top of the seats where they should go.

    When my 3.2 was off the road for a few months I had this problem when I used it again
