Odd smell at the rear like cooked brake or burning clutch, Ambient temp 6 deg C distance driven after a 10 mile 1hr stop 10 mile drive Brakes all cold to touch. car is auto. reported to dealer whose advice was call LR assist if it happens again. Any ideas here, roads were B or B standard, does the Haldex smell for any reason? my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I sometimes get this, sometimes don't, can't replicate under a set of circumstances so just something I'm keeping my eye on. Wondered if it was crap on the rear exhaust back box. 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

Could be the DPF regenerating. |

Maybe intermittently sticking brake shoes or pads ? |

I had exactly the same with mine the other day, which is what made me think of it.

Thanks guys, the odd thing is that there was steam coming off all the tyres, though not hot or warm to touch, same thing this morning on the way out, but not on the way back dropped 0.3 mpg going out which is unusual going out as it is normally a gain of 0.1 but gained 0.1 on the way back, so regen would account for that. May have a problem with Service Manager as I wasn't to impressed with his attitude to the recall as I hadn't had a letter, demanded to know how I knew and gave some story about access to the LR data base. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

To identify the DPF regen, if you reset the trip computer daily for a while you will get an idea of your daily MPG.

Definitely not brakes, that was the first check, never use the hand brake unless on a steep hill. OH only uses it when road side parking. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

It is most likely the DPF and therefore nothing to worry about. I have only been aware of a DPF regen once in 2.5 years and that was because I stopped to pick someone up and the car filled with a horrible smell when the door was opened - rotten eggs and burning.
