I had a similar problem after I had my dual mass flywheel and clutch replaced, it turned out to be the starter motor was full of dust from the old clutch and flywheel, on a couple of occasion's car would not even turn over. Garage cleaned out the motor and all has been good since, maybe worth a check?

I've heard of a couple failing but not that common.

You'll get one here.

Hi again the pollen filter is located up to the back of the engine on the passenger side. You have to remove the wipers and take off the plastic shroud. You will then see it in its holder. Also check your drain holes from the windscreen they can block with debris also. They have strange rubber pipes that close at the end and can be prone to holding all sorts, which could cause smells. At only 1500k I wouldn't think this would be a problem but worth a check. I have a diesel but have never had any exhaust smells in the cabin.
Hope you get to the bottom of this and it's not emissions from the exhaust. Keep us posted.

Hi Croc02,
If it was in storage for a few years, was the car given a full service? It could be bad oil or fuel. Drive till tank nearly empty, the fully refill to the top of tank, as you may only have just diluted the bad fuel. I'd check the pollen filter also incase anything has become lodged in the cavity where it is?

Hi Donald
I got mine from Arnold clark in Ruthgerglen. I just renewed everything due to work to get into the clutch. Cost depends on whether it's a petrol or diesel car you have? Also Brown and Gammons deliver, as well as Summit Garage.

Hope this is of help?

Hi Beddis, I had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago at 63000 miles. It cost me £1600 all in, though I had the clutch and the release bearing replaced also. If that's the price just for the flywheel then it seems a bit expensive?

Hope this helps you?

Cheers

Hope your releasing the clutch when in neutral?

Have a look at this post.
