July 28, 20241 yr Any reports on the competence of mechanics? Son's Mishi a problem under load and tappet sound and big cloud of black smoke. Not all the time. So he's taking my car back to Banggers and I'll take his car to Mishubishi Muk. on Monday. So Mishu Muk. Ok or not?
July 28, 20241 yr Can't say about Mitsubishi mechanics, but big clouds of black smoke does not sound good. Diesel or petrol?

But black smoke not all the time. Seems when you apply power going up a hill this brings the tappet sound on. Any clues on maybe problem?
