  1. hi all,just got back from a short journey (1 mile) dual carraigeway road,so put my foot down a couple of times.got to a roundabout and an acryd burning smell( kind of chemical burning smell )appeared, and i'm sure i saw smoke behind the car when i looked in the mirror ,but the smell was definately in the cabin aswell . (my heater matrix is knackered and there is leaked coolant sloshing around but i dont think its anything to do with that) any ideas? cheers &|
