I also occasionaly get a odd smell, sometimes a subtle "cooking" smell, but I put this down to a DPF clean and off-road muck burning on the exhaust system as it gets hot in places it does not normally due to shortish trips. Zaid-M

It could be coolant getting burnt off a hot surface. Check the water pump for leaks or if there are streaks on the coolant reservoir coming from the cap this will be the source of the smell. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Most likely screenwash spillage due to being well filled up, the cap also has a breather in it.
As you use the screenwash itโll stop. Always happens after filling screenwash bottle, replacing the cap may improve it a little. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ธโฝ๏ธ๐ข๏ธโ๏ธ๐งฐ๐ช |

We had a strange smell that turned out to be a/c fluid. The engine lifting bracket, the red one at the back of the engine, had come loose and hit the a/c pipe below it resulting in a leak. New pipe cleared the problem. It is a long short to have that on your one but you never know. Peter

A few weeks ago I found I had a container of "Demon Tweaks" heavy duty screenwash left over from last winter, which I had bought when I was temporarily unable to get my usual brand. Perhaps foolishly I filled the reservoir with it (diluted in a manner appropriate to the summer, of course). It smells very strongly of bananas. Now every time I squirt the screen or headlights (yes, I am bragging ) the Defender reeks of bl**dy bananas for quite a while afterwards. I can't wait for it to run out. The only one I have ever encountered which was worse was a a container of Halfords "scented" screenwash some years ago, which made the car smell like a brothel (or like I image a brothel would smell, before anyone asks). That was worse than the bananas. What's wrong with screenwash that smells like screenwash? |

I use the 5L Rain x screenwash premix you can only get from Halfords. Iโm happy with it. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R
