    Yeah Clifford Concept 650 alarm/immob. but that was fitted way before I had it.

    13 volts wont be enough though. im sceptical of voltage drop but the live to the battery is from a BMW 5 Series a proper battery cable.

    Battery is brand new.

    checked the alt, getting approx. 13.5 volts at alt and 13.5 at battery terminals.

    Should be about 14.4V though right?

    anyone have any ideas what would cause the exhaust to let out white smoke and lots of it.

    no white residue under filler cap or dipstick
    no loss in coolant either
    smoke doesn't smell like syrup or sweet
