    When my car is warmed up, there is a smell of wet paint coming from the engine bay. When I put my fan on the smell inside the car is pretty strong....
    Any ideas?

    Not like a carrier bag stuck to your mani/exhaust or anything like that?

    Hello all, thanks for the replies....
    Basically I've been suffering with man flu so my smell has been slightly off, it was a fuel leak on one of my under bonnet fuel lines. Squirting out quite badly but managed to get it fixed Car has never ran so smooth!
