Not to worry-it just means > your catalytic converter is working well. Hmmm, a few people have suggested this, but afaik I don't have a cat converter (being in the UK). If it is exhaust gases coming into the front of the car I should get it looked into. It has not happened today even after more than an hour in slow traffic. So it only seems to come when the car is moving fast. Lionel Tun 1984 Caravelle GL lionel@ark.prestel.co.uk
