Smell of hot rubber

[Flackadder]

<< that car.

Nearside rear wheel area smells of rubber after a short run and parked up. It is not always there, just around every other trip.

Tyre and brake disc appear to be cool, nothing touching tyre.

Parking brake works just fine, though does seem to not 'always' release on first pull. How does this system work anyway?

Had a look about underneath....nothing seems out of place.

B service less then a month ago.

Apart from that all seems fine.

Thanks in advance.

DPF regeneration perhaps? - my previous CDi used to do it too.

The cure is to buy a V8 petrol - simples .

I used to get it with my cls320 Cdi but from the drivers side front arch. Fan used to come on too. It drive fine so I never bothered investigating
