Ayup fellow Stokie,
got the same smell on my 94 wagon and found out its the drivers side rocker cover gasket leaking oil and dropping it on the exhaust. How close are you i`m five mins from the Darlaston mate.

Nick, sorry mate, just smoked my last TD04 !
Have you had the scoob long mate? Ever been to any meets in or around Stoke area?
There's a meet on 18th Jan, venue to be decided soon. I'll let you know or just watch the midlands section, we normally go under the Darlaston/Loggerheads crews.
Cheers.

P.S, I also have a smell and it appears to be from the power steering container, I only get it when car is running but not moving, would PS fluid smell like it does(bad burning)?

Trem, ring Ian Talbot on 07974-376881. He runs a small garage in Market Drayton. He used to be a mechanic at Shrewsbury Subaru but now runs his own. I take mine there, so does NevB and recently Mark Wild ( all classics ). Doesn't charge anywhere near as much as Subaru on labour and also has an account with Subaru so uses genuine parts and spares. I won't take my car anywhere else now, he's also a nice bloke and he doesn't mind you hanging around and learning about the car as he works on it ( to a point ).
Well worth giving him a call, please mention that Simon with white wagon passed on the number. You never know, if I recommend him to enough people he may even return the favour one day with my wagon.
