What's that burning Plastic smell?? OH Heck!!!
Ladies and Gents,
around 3 weeks ago, I was coming home one evening, and had that very thought-- what followed was a curl of smoke inside the cabin, at which point I pulled off the main road imto a side street, leaped out the car and immediately disconnected the battery!!! Stood on the side of the road, had a smoke, calm down Steve!!!
Got back in the car, and managed to restart it, no burning evident now, just the smell of, managed to limp the car home and, as I had but 5 days before I went off to Indonesia to marry my now beautiful lady wife, I left it, battery disconnected.
Trying to restart it this morning, and I have large amounts of non compliance!! I also note the clocks are stuck at 20 mph, 1000rpm, near temperature and just under half a tank of fuel. At least the burning smell has stopped!!
So, Genii, Lords Of The '8, I;m about to do a vcds scan, does anyone have any ideas?? Short of assisting it's self ignition???
All sensible suggestions welcomed!!
Humble, grateful thanks in anticipation,
Steve
