Should have said I can smell burning in the living room but I think it's cos I've put my fire light on for the first time in about a year.

Scoot, do explain yourself a little more clearly. There's me thinking your car is going to burst into flames.
I think I need an aspirin and a lie down

The last time I had a 'brum, brum' effect from the engine was a day before the cambelt went. This was on a 400 diesel which had been 'serviced' by a dubious character, who reckoned to have replaced the belt 40K miles earlier. This and your burning smell sounds familiar. I'd have it checked NOW.

Here, Here, 2 places in Glasgow to do MGRover servicing and both are really dodgy.
