Hi all,
Has anyone else had the worrying experience of driving along and suddenly a waft of smokedrifts up from the foot well (not a dropped fag setting the carpet alite as I dont smoke!)?
When I first got the car running this happened, but I put it down to the large amounts of brake fluid that had spilt from a leaky reservior as it appeared to be coming from the pedal box -no wires in there - and not present in the glovebox - full of wires - but could not see a source.
Today it happened again, but turning the engine off stopped the smoke after a minute or so, restarting brought it back after a very short time. Later (I was in a one way system at rush hour and had to risk it) after a stop of 40 minutes it drove almost 10 miles without incident.
Anyone got a clue? The smoke has either no smell of a slightly acride scent and is very pale grey almost white.
The car is now going nowhere until I've had a good look at this as we've had bonfire night alresdy!
Thanks
Matt
