Just read another thread, now i know that while the bonnet is up the engine compartment light is on!
There was a recent thread here about coolant smells and leaks - all too common - radiators especially it seems.
the switch at the back of the latch becomes detached in the rear compartment and may need clipping back in place or even sticking back in place...
