V6 burning smell and warning
I've not got home yet to check but my wife has called to say she was driving home and a burning smell developed in the car as well as "check engine" on the dash.
Naturally she carried on driving Will investigate later tonight to see if there is anything obvious. Does not sound good.

Hi Vic.
Look at the alternator, & maybe the LSM if she could smell the fumes inside straight away, did she have the A/C at the time as that can bring in the fumes from the engine bay, please let us know what you find.

Will do. I’m at a MG rally tomorrow and MG’s in the park Sunday. Earliest I will look is Monday but at least she can use the Streetwise for a few days.

I'm guessing thermostat has gone pop.

Again? It’s only a few months old. No loss of coolant.

That was what happened the only time my V6 showed the warning light!

A forum full of great technical knowledge and outside of the box thinking. I’m going to check the rear view mirror just in case! 😂
