Got a new radiator from Subaru a few months ago supplied and fitted (a bargain - not!) Seems to be holding water OK, but there is a strange smell once the car has almost heated up fully. It was suggested that it may be the paint on the new radiator but that was about four months ago and several thousand miles. It is almost like a burning paper smell. Any suggestions? MY98UK.

Is there anything stuck onto the exhaust pipe, could be where smell from, or is air con fitted, as they can sniff a bit if not be treated with correct treatment.
