Does the engine turn off when stopping at the likes of traffic lights then come back on when you go to drive off?
Ok understood. The car doesn't have stop/start but perhaps I should mention it is an automaticWhen you pull up at traffic lights and take your foot off the clutch, does the engine cut out and restart when you depress the clutch?
I don't think its that because you can smell in from the engine when you stand outside and the doesn't smell in the cab when on internal circulation. I also git the aircond cleaned 2 days ago where the spray a chemical up the water outletHave you ever smelt mouldy aircon? I wouldn't say it smells like propane or butane gas, but it does have a weird smell.
Might be worth trying an aircon spray or bomb to clean it and eliminate any smell.
Less than a tenner from a motor factors.
Yes maybe the injectors.i was going to suggest injectors too.
my dads old 308 did this and i smelt peutred, fumes were literally coming into the cabin and slow speeds.
although obv worth checking the above aswell
As the battery gets older/more wear on it the changing system charges the battery harder and without the system being reset it can boil the new battery as it's overcharging.why would that cause overcharging if I replaced the battery and had stop/start?
Thanks

That's a very basic description btw
We get that smell on the forklifts in work and it’s 99 out of 100 times the battery needing replaced.
Burnt gear oil has a pretty distinct smell, it's a pity the garage werent able to recognise this earlier. Much as the dodgy battery has a distinct smell too.
Definitely an unusual problem but not unheard of. I think a lot of 4wd cars do like all 4 tyres changed at the same time, and of same make etc...but most cars arent that fussy about it
