Alright guys, after having car a week now, was dropping bairn off at school and when he got out said he could get a burning smell, I also got it but smell quickly disappeared, later on in day got smell again but through vents and smelled a little bit plastic, then once again while was in a bit of hurry was giving a little bit of welly, stopped got out and could smell burning again??? looked around but no evidence of smoke and again the smell disappeared, strange but hopeing someone else has had this or no"s what am on about and can calm me Just strange how its not constant....Last car went up in ball of flames so feeling a bit vulnerable  2007 V8 HSE RRS STORNAWAY GREY

we got something like that on our old ffrr,,it would drop a "smidgeon" of coolant onto the exhausts from somewhere resulting in a burning smell sometimes when getting out,,it only needed a quarter litre of coolant every couple of months and we eventually traded it
check your coolant levels,,although it might not be that 2013.5 rrs black edition in white here now

Do you notice if the burning smell is stronger around the nearside rear wheel ?

I had this and it turned out to be a failing air suspension compressor (its situated near to the nearside rear wheel). Just a thought but you might want to get it checked.

Good luck getting it sorted. Carl

What was the temperature at the time? If it's cold outside and the coolant isn't up to temp then the FBH will kick in. It's been a bit cold down here the last day or so - what's it been like in Thurso? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Will checkdryden1407 will check coolant and keep an eye on it, next time I smell it will check around rear wheel area v8sc, RRSTDV8 did read something about that in search, it has been cold, down to 3-4 degrees last couple of days, could you explain what it actually is and does please as am not that mechanically minded so everyday a learning day would this give out a burning smell itermitedly or constant..thanks for the quick reply guys. 2007 V8 HSE RRS STORNAWAY GREY
