·Hi all,
I just need a little bit of reassurance. The wife was driving the eXXy the other day and started to notice that changing gear became slightly notchy. Panic set in and when she returned home there was a distinct hot metal smell. I at first thought it was the brakes binding but didn`t seem to be coming from that area. I spoke to a lorry driver who said that this was probably due to the exhaust burning off the DPF ? I took it to the dealership who didn`t exactly fill me with confidence when I asked them what might be causing the smell. Due to the relative short journeys that are made I`ve decided to fill it with either ultimate or V diesel and not the supermaarket brands. All in all a great car and i`m very impressed with it`s off road capabilities ( when I get a chance to drive it ).
