Funny smell of burnt toast

[PATTERNPART]

Hello

My friend says that the interior of her old Honda CR-V smells like burnt toast.

What do you think that might be?

I remember a pal's Golf smelled a bit like curry and that was something to do with the heater matrix leaking I think.

Clutch.

Isn't that smell related to the first signs of a heart attack? I hope it is the car.

Someone put some bread on the engine?

The car has an automatic gearbox.

Most recent Honda diesels (CRV, Civic etc) have major clutch slipping issues. Google it, you'll find a million articles on the problem.

Also Spontaneous human combustion, so some say. Always worry about that, usually turns out to be toast.
