Eek! That's scary :( I guess if it's in the loom you'll never spot it. Is there anything that doesn't work properly? I guess it might be worth looking at all the connectors under the passenger carpet in case things are damp (things get hot when the power bypasses insulation). A while back on the coupe club forum someone found where a lump of metal was sawing through a cable on an HDi (under the battery tray somewhere). Does the engine cooling fan look and work ok? (A fire hazard on early D9s that should have been modified under a recall)

Maybe worth checking where ur pollen filter is, if any leaves or dirt may have got down to the blower motor that mite be the smell?
