smelly car
« on: 02 April 2006, 12:14 »
Is there any way to stop fumes getting into the car?

I'm guessing its coming from the engine or the tailpipe, I've got the new hard scuttle panel.

Its not bad, only when idleing really, just thought if there was something to check, it could be better?? :huh:

any ideas folks?
