Burning Smell After Being Stood Idle
Hi Guys,
Strange problem with my '04 RX8.
It had a new cat fitted in the end of jan as the old one failed. There was a faint burning smell in the cabin occasionaly after this, dealer said it was because of the new cat.
This smell went away mostly but i can still occasionaly smell a burning plastic smell when i've been stood at lights or in traffic for a few mins.
also noticed the bolts on the driver seat got red hot (enough to burn yourself)
Any ideas what this might be?
