Hi guys,

2002 focus 2 litre with 65k miles. Only had it a month or so.
After journeys of more than 10 minutes, when getting out the car I can smell something that can only be described as burning rubber or oil from the engine compartment but cannot put my finger on it.


The smell is familiar, as a mate of mine also used to have a 2.0 focus and I remember smelling the same odour, although I didnt mention it at the time.
