Maybe Vent system clogged?

Welcome to the forum Lyonnell, I hope it would be of helpfor you.

Could you specify a bit more on what kind of smell it is? Fuelish, coolanty, brake fluidy, rubbery, burning plasticky, exhausty, gunpowderish, etc...it doesn't smell like pizza, does it (it shouldn't, otherwise you would have stated it as "Pleasant/Appetising Smell")?

Will wait for your reply.

More information would make it much easier to diagnose the problem.
