can any convertible owners tell me if they have suffered with exhaust fumes in the car,more so with windows open as i cant open mine as i,ll reek of fumes,exhaust fine but it looks as though pipe has been cut just under the bumper,should it extend pass that,its a 320 with a single pipe.no fuel leaks not rich as plugs are always a nice colour,

I'd be cjhecking for fumes up front as opposed to behind. Perhaps a cracked manifold or split front down pipe ?

mate i,ve checked the lot,replaced manifold gasket had pipe off all good,changed all breather pipes,afm,had mixture tested,serviced,all filters done cleaned under rocker cover,new gasket on rocker only thing noticed today is oil in inlet manifold(about a teaspoon full)so will try an oil catch tank in case the oil vapour is mixing,but even so it shouldn,t go in the car,has a tec2 spoiler on it would that cause airflow probs.(i know it looks wrong but can,t afford a new boot yet)
