I thought I'd start a new thread as my last one became a mish-mash of a lot of different bits!
So, this issue is that after driving for 10 mins or so (not sure if it is the same when stone cold) when stopped at idle, you can smell fuel in the cabin of the car.
I have replaced the crankcase breather hose and put jubilee clips tightly on all 3 ends of the hose.
When the car is running, if I sniff around that area I can still smell fuel.
Any ideas what else I can check?
Fuel economy hasn't been too badly affected I don't think. The last tank got me 42mpg which I think is very good given the type of journeys it does.
Background about the car - it is new to us, got it a month ago. It has done 38,500 miles. Service history is non existent, it has been serviced by me very recently and will be getting fresh oil again as soon as the weather allows! I know this may not be relevant, but best to give the whole picture!
