fumes?
Im getting nasty fumes in the cabin of my na6 with the roof up - im thinking it has something to do with the rather deceased looking rubber gear lever boot (the one under the leather boot)
its not an exhaust smell - besides, i checked the exhaust and fuel system rather well while she was on the hoist last week.
anyone confirm this?
if it is - hoosellsem? and how hard are they to fit?
cheeeers

And makes a huge difference to noise and heat levels inside the car.
noise would be nice, heat isnt too much of an issue this time of the year here!
thanks all.

I had fumes in my cabin and sure enough it was the lower rubber boot.
Replaced it...no more fumes

i took the centre console off last week to get at my stereo and the rubber boot thats visible when the console is off was err rather broken. so im guessing by the pics that when i get the turret off im going to find a broken smaller boot under the big one?
