Engine smell and roof part

Post by Kezzer »

Hi, is it normal to smell the engine whilst sat in the back? It is not noticeable in the front but we are a little worried as this is where our kids sit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, can anyone tell us where we can get a roof strap for our pop top? I noticed there is one missing and it looks like it stopped the roof going past the vertical while it is elevated and whilst going up and down.

Please help, yes we are 'newbies' but loving every minute!!

Thanks..

check your tailgate seal is in good condition.as this can lead to exhaust fumes entering the van.sorry cant help with the strap though.
