Arrived at Cranleigh 08.45 this morning and was first car to pull up at the Tigers alloted space and for 15 mins felt a bit lonely as the only car there.

Picked up on you observation about back fire through exhaust this can point to unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system and is ignited by the heat in the exhaust system. Generally this points to an ignition prob, what ignition system are you using?

I know some fans can have the blades reversred to be either puller or pusher but...
