This may seem a daft question but it is of something of concern to me as I dont know what it is.

Im getting a smell of really badly burnt toast coming through my blowers.

After arriving home at 8.30ish tonight was to dark for me to investigate properly.

Opened the bonnet wasn't too prominent, a bit smelly.

Put my head under the sill and it stunk! Any clues?

Ive been noticing this over the last week, or a bit longer, but didnt really think anything of it until tonight.

All im running is a full straight through exhaust.

If I had a cat on id presume it was that, as they do smell, but I havent so slightly concerned. :?

And nope hadnt been ragging it at all.

Its been running a treat recently and the last thing i need is for something to go wrong and be on my drive having to fix something in this cold weather.

or maybe it was just normal bread when it entered the heater, but over the week he has been slowly burning it!

infact if you could fit a rack above the manifold, you could cook brecky on the way to work :D

just have like a tray where you can drop a metal skillet or somthing in, then pop in some eggs bacon and drive to work :D

No electricals to my knowledge at the moment.

I only have the centre blowers working but thats it really. All others have gone into hibernation for the winter!!

Its been behaving recently. Im not even going to attempt to sort those until spring/summer as i believe its a real headache of a job.
