Did you not have them sitting on the floor in the focus?.... I'd guess that's where any dodgy smells may come from :? :lol:

I used to have a capri with only one working brake (it varied as to which brake actually worked ;-)). Anyway, was en route to Glasgow airport one morning and the barsteward thing seized on; once I was steering at about 30 degrees to get the car straight, I decided to pull onto the hard shoulder - pissed on the brake and raced off to get my plane (the tale get's worse as the hazard warning switch failed in the on position, meaning I had to hold it closed with my knee while driving, etc.). It certainly smelled of wee after that.

Cheers,
Robin
