Yes, in the last couple of journeys our 84 GL has smelt of rotten eggs - something like stink bombs (hydrogen sulhpide?). It seems related to the heated air output from the front when the car is moving fast, but not with the blower. My other thought was the battery being charged/overcharged since I could think of no other system that has anything like those chemicals, but I could not smell anything close up when the car was stopped. Has anyone ever come across this sort of smell? Should I look for a stink bomb or a dead animal or something? Lionel Tun 1984 Caravelle GL lionel@ark.prestel.co.uk
