cheers for that, i have the rubber seal running across the bulkhead, however i did take off the sound proofing that covered the heater fan and goes behind the battery. would that make a difference?

thanks

i wonder if anyone has experiance this or have an idea what this could be, when i had my 1108 engine in my cinq i had no problems at all with fumes but since i have changed the engine there is a smell , it a weird smell like a mixture of petrol and exhaust fumes. i have also been having headaches which i believe is due to this. i have looked at the exhaust and see no signs of nreaks or cracks the only thing is that the cat is badly dented. i can only think it maybe the breather pipe i have had a quick check but cannot see any cracks or split in it. so i am lost to were this smell is coming from? any ideas?

Cheers

look underneath it may be that the fuel tank is leaking slightly

no i never touched the wiper motor, will put the soundproofing back on to see if it will make any difference.

Thanks for your help
