the hubby's suby smells like brut because he left a can on the back seat while he was at work and it exploded, twas funny him coming up the driveway with all windows down his head hanging out and the hatch open, he'd driven 2 k's from work like it.

That is the plasticisers leaving the plastics, you may notice the film on your windscreen interior after days in the sun, etc.it's amazing how old vinyl, foam and glue can still give off odours even after 30 odd years.
After the plasticisers go the plastic becomes brittle and cracks easy, plastic comes from oils so it will always have a smell I guess.
A friend walked into an Auto shop in a mall in the 80's and asked for some car air freshener that smelled like 'GTS dash' the guy gave him a little yellow bottle of 'AutoCologne' and he smelled it and said yep that's the stuff.
Anyone remember that smell?

"Smells like burnt wiring" don't tell me you won the eBay auction on that tin of genuine "Lucas burnt wiring smoke"
Lucas didn't have a very good reputation with their product.
