so my jimnys been sat on my drive for the past month in all honestly a little bit neglected,

just started it this evening for the first time, and its now smoking a little bit, and smells abit of antifreeze/petrol, i was only moving the cars around on my drive so car didnt get to full operating temp so dont know if it was just condensation or not,

any ideas why it would just start doing it now after being sat for a length of time?

Probably condensation mine does that every week. It gets driven 20miles to work, sits there for 6 days then 20miles back home & I notice lots of steam & the petrol smell. It's done it for over 3 years so I think it's normal.

Mine tends to sit for a week or so every now and then, and seems to smell a bit like fuel when started. I notice it more now it has a new back box fitted.
