Strange Hissing Under Bonnet

[djenigma]

Hi everyone sorry to be a mithering git so soon after becoming a member and thanks to mikej for my first problem solve, But yet another problem has arisen and is causing me concern.

I jump started my galaxy today due to my battery being kapput and this was in reverse as i live on a hill and when it started i got a plume of smoke which came out of the drivers wing and the bonnet, It started to smell of burning rubber and now im getting a rather worrying hissing noise from behind the engine i think not sure for certain. Has anyone else experienced this and if so does anyone know what the hell has gone wrong now lol.

Let me introduce myself also... Im a 35 year old disc jockey from bolton,lancs. And i am keen to learn the basics of keeping my cherished ford galaxy mk2 in suitable road worthy condition for as cheap as possible lmao :) , So any info i recieve from your good selves is deeply apprieciated.

Many Thanks for your time Djenigma (paul).

Check the small rubber air pipes around the engine, if one is split or become detached you may have a blocked cat/exhaust
