Sod the smell, find out where the coolant is going.

The fact there is no mayo on the dip stick means jack, it only tells you there is no water getting in the oil.....it could be going elsewhere either externaly, internaly or into a pot.

The burning smell is probably the electrics, standard fit on french stuff

Still burning but not caught fire yet ... seems to have stopped smelling as bad as it was , wont be using that Gunk on the engine again

Topped coolant up but only about half a cup , this is the coolant settling to its proper level after it was changed

Cant wait to see what condition the starter motor is in , if its anything like the engine it will be covered in goo
