Hi
just got home from a forty mile trip round the 25, as my wife got out of the passengers side, she noticed a smell coming from my vectra.
to me it just smelt hot. could it be the cataliytic converter?
anyone else experianced this?
Cheers

Rear brakes i'd bet.....
Had this on nearly every car i've owned, including the Vec.
maybe rear calliper binding on

i had the same thing in my 2.0T pre-face about a month ago, noticed it was coming from O/S/F area, wheel arch and through the grill! had a good look round, couldnt see anything, resolved to check again after the next journey! next journey came and went without hint of burning and it hasnt happened since!! i still to this day have no idea what caused it!
I had the same once on my old 2.0T reversing up a very steep hill (don't ask me why I was reversing up a hill - it's too embarrassing LOL) and my rear brakes were taking most of the strain and heating up. A good steady cruise on an A-road soon after helped cool them down.
Have had all the pads renewed in the last 2 weeks ,could be those bedding in, havent had any probs today, although only shortish journeys.
