R1NGA - Prior to replacing my Centa rubbers I sometimes had a burning smell. Often when Julia drove/manoeuvred it. I thought she was burning the clutch.....
Some parts of of my rubber fragments (possibly from the ends of the barrels) looked like they had got quite hot. Mind you, so did the clutch plates......
I suspect there are a few bits of loose rubber in there causing it, but as there is little overall debris and the car continues to drive beautifully, I am loathed to pull the sucker apart now, so close to Treffen 2017!
Moreover, my car only has 3,500 miles on it since the Centa 'upgrade', so it really hasn't had that much of a hard time as yet.
I fully appreciate that I might regret that statement when stuck by the side of the road up a mountain in Switzerland in about 3 weeks time though
