Exhaust fumes in cab
Discussion
Hi all
has anyone had this trouble when iam driving with the roof up on the westfield i get a very Strong smell of exhaust fumes coming in to the cab is theres any way of getting rid of it because you cant open the windows on the door because there side screens and the heater in the cab which is supplied by westfield only gives out hot air so if anyone has a solution i like to hear

I had the same thing on a Locust. Is it coming in through the heater? If not then it could be getting in through the gear gaitor. I managed to make a tight seal low down on this to stop it getting in.
Otherwise, check to see if the fumes are coming from your breathers? I ran then through a filter to try and cut down on the amount of fumes escaping into the car as I once gave myself Carbon Monoxide poisoning by running too long with the roof up.

Iknow this sound weird but i think its coming up thought the bottom of the door on the side of the exhust pipe because the passanger can smell the worse because i dont have the heater on so it not that thinking of mabey trying it fit some sort fan to bring some freash air in to the cab thanks for the help tho irl cheack out all what you said
In that case have a look at the end of the footwells in the engine bay and see if there are any gaps in them? Especially the passenger side. What engine are you running? If its the crossflow then some of the older carbon steel exhausts fracture at the manifold releasing the gasses into the engine bay and then the passenger compartment.
Hope some of all this can help, but not sure how different the Locust and Westfield are.
