Phill Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Only time I smell burning in my ride is caused by friction from the back seat, y'all know what I'm saying? Two time, wooord! Sorry, just watched Next Friday, feeling a little ghetto fabulous up in here. Bling bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelles Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 (edited) once you see the smoke again, open the bonnet up and have a look see where its coming from......bit weird for that sort of thing to come out the bonnet...

Colin Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Check that you windscreen wiper motor hasn't fused, also, check the battery aint leaking acid and also check your main fuse box, if it smokes it will vent out there............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 err oil leak from the rocker box maybe?? mine smelt of burning and u only need a tiny drop of oil to make smoke. Ur rocker gasket might be gone. if so do it urself only takes 30 - 60 mins. cost u bout £3.50 for the gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
