Sorry Dave, i was in a megga rush trying to get to somewhere near Derby to view a car for my lad, and get back home again !!!
Smell is Definately coming from engine bay, its the kinda smell you get with an engine thats bloody hot , if you know what i mean, no oily smells, etc etc !
Coolant level is bang on, temp is bang on, i might get the missus to go outside today and clean the engine with a tooth brush !!!
Only downside with my car is it ha a very miniscule leak ( oil ) from the filter housing ! I will inverstigate soon, as its either the gasket that seals the oil cooler housing off from the top part of the filter, or a leak from the actual oil pump casting to the block ! I'm not sure if this joint has a gasket or not !
However its the smallest leak you ever did see, or not see !
Covers the sump in a film of oil eventually, so maybe that might add to the smell being experianced !!
Wouldnt have thought sump would get that hot though !!!
Cheers
Mark
