I know this is going to leave me wide open to all sorts of wild comments but.....There is a strange smell entering into the cab from the engine bay during normal running.
It never gets any worse but it's certainly there all the time.
It's an acrid, throat rasping sort of smell that reminds me of hot coolant.
I can't see any leaks and the Temp. Gauge stayed in the "Centre Section" as the handbook suggested it should when we drove it the 100 miles home last weekend.
Years ago I had a similar experience with an old VW Polo when the alternator was over charging and causing the battery to boil.
It's going into my Service Guy next week for a Health Check but I thought I'd see if anyone here might have anything useful to throw into the mix??
