curry

why is it when i put the heater on it smells like curry?..its a 200 tdi we fixed and refitted the heater matrix last week and done coolant aswell,heater seems to blow hot now but does smell like a curry house,n before ya say it now i didnt leave a takeaway in back..

i dont know the answer but my belingo work van is the same,i leave the blower on one all the time because it smells worse if left then switched bak on.

i used to have this but it was a old korma van

This is not uncommon since land rover was sold to an Indian company, previously the heater emitted a fish and chip smell as standard, an optional extra was salt and vinegar at 15p.

surly thats a good thing cant beat the smell of a good curry

it gets on ya tits afta a bit.

whimp

As i live in denmark the heater smells of bacon and when i use the horn it says 'I'm coming hard from behind'....

s'funny cos when i do a fart it smells like a summat died!!!!!

the moderators are gonna have a field day with that one....

cos someone chucked up the remains of their vindaloo into the heater vent on your front wing

i had same thing on a ford Granada years ago, turned out some smart arse, i was working for, though it'd be funny to sprinkle curry powder into the sill vents under the windscreen while i wasn't around.It was impossible to get rid of,
you could try sprinkling something you prefer the smell off into your heating system i suppose.

ye that sounds worth a go,gud man.

Funny that, I had a Freelander and the heater was smelling of curry then not long after I noticed the matrix was fooked, coincidence or what?
