Daft question I know - did you leave your hand brake on (even one click will cause issues) the burning smell will be the rubber rollers in the compensator and /or the clutch



Where are you travelling from?


Handbrake definitely off
I was hoping the smell was the shoes in the drum. Certainly felt hot to the touch. Your description sounds worse! Why would it be those though?

Travelling from Brussels. It actually might be safer in a "normal" car given what's been happening around Calais this week
