Has this been the only time?

Have you done a visual inspection around engine and underneath and on exhaust.?

Could it possibly have been coming from the truck you overtook?

If it was passing through exhaust system I wouldn't expect you would be able to smell it until pulling up.

I haven't had any similar experience with mine yet.

ta mad,missus had the brains to make them write down everthing on the contract so i believe if mitsu doesn't back them up they are in "breach of their contract" .i in all good faith was buying a new car, or so i thought.

you know its stories like this that give the motor industry bad vibes and to have a bad experience like this turns everybody sour, threaten to name and shame and expose the salesman who you dealt with, the sales manager , and the dealer principle at northstar redcliffe to a current affair for malpractice and breach of contract or mtaa because we cant let bad dealers get away with this crap , u signed for a new car not a demo

[heyyu]

im going to mad, me brother in laws a solicitor,so now its up to northstar and mitsubishi', there should be a name and shame on this forum,so we know who to avoid
