  1. Thanks thathawk400 for your advice, and Peter for the garage details. Will call and have a chat.
  2. Thanks so much for the advice and quick response. Yes would be good to get some more views. I have checked underneath and looked at tray and there is no evidence of any oil leak. However it is worth checking again. Thanks.
  3. Thanks Peter. Do you know the name of the garage by any chance. Much appreciated.
  4. Hi all. Im new on here but need some advice? I have a 2007 stype diesel. 77k. Recently i noticed some smoke coming from under the hood. I took it to dealer and they said that the firewall at back of engine was smouldering??? The firewall is fabric!! I thought this was just sound proofing and always thought the firewall was like a foil metal type of sheet/material. Every thing in the car works and no electrical issues. The dealer said that to replaceitem they have to remover engine!! I then phoned another garage and they said that it was soundproofing which may have come away and was touching the cat or dpf, as these get very hot and consequently staryed to burn. They just advised me to rip that bit off . Since then I have looked at other s types and they do not have the so called firewall around the same parts of the engine as i do. Has anyone come across this before or have any knowledge of this. Hope all this makes sense. Advice help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Edit
