Any of you other IS types experience the smell of overheated/slightly burning rubber after a long steady run - e.g. on motorway?

Seems to be nearer the rear.

Not the tyres - they're just hand warm.

Rubber exhaust suspension rings maybe?

Other ideas appreciated !!!

ive noticed it mate at the rear end,what tyres you got

its perfectly normal- about 98% of IS owners experience this, there are quite a few rubber/plastic components around that area and its just an initial vapour being released due to the heat, dont worry about it at all.

Yeah its only some rubber mounts, I took my one in a just before xmas, and was told not to worry.... If you only getting it after being on the motorway, then its the same as me (ThoughI have changed the mounts and now the smell has gone)

which rubber mounts are they, for the exhaust?

yeah, when I changed them the exhuast had a good scrub down to

Yeah mine does it as well, I was wondering what it was!

I remember when I first smelt it, I almost had a panic attack!
