Post by **innocenti** » 28 Mar 2012, 19:04

hi noticed today on the drive home a strange sort of rubbery /fishy smell from the heater outlet . there is nothing trapped anywhere down the vents was wondering if anyone else has had this in the past and where i might look to fix the problem ?
not been out shopping either and stored anything in the fridge . the bus is a 1.9td atlantic .
cheers in advance steve

It's a well known trick to play on someone you don't like - stick a bit of pot bait in the air intake or allow it to liquefy then pour the juice in - you haven't upset any fishermen have you? I have a dozen horse mackerel in a bucket getting ready for someone at the moment....shhhhh...

I have done this a few times

Air vents full of talc and put the blower on 3 is a good one too...

I experienced the same sort of smell [rubbery/dusty]prior to the heater packing up in a puff of smoke.

A fishy smell is what accompanies an electric motor burning out or indeed having burnt out. Stinks to high heaven.

If you think that's a fishy smell you ought to come and smell my bilges - especially with this warmer weather!

Reminds me of a Yorkshire lass I once knew.

"Kiss me where it smells" she asked

So I took her to Fleetwood
