Fish and chip smell!
Odd question, I know, but...


Just noticed that my 110 sometimes has a noticeable (albeit mild) smell coming through, not entirely dissimilar to a mild smell of fish and chips! Confused

Now, before you all chime in, I haven't actually had any fish and chips in the vehicle, there's no obvious signs that the previous owner did, and I've tried air freshener but with no real effect.

Could it be from the (small) percentage of bio-diesel in pump diesel (clutching at straws here, obviously!)?
