Smells problem
2000 Rover 75 Manual

had to have a new clutch fitted about 4/6 weeks ago and since then have had a terrible smell coming from car when sitting in traffic - took it back to garage and they said it was just the clutch settling in - this seemed to make sense so i left it. car is wonderful on motorway but when sitting in traffic - the smell starts - smells like old vegetables and slight smell of burning - why is this - should i take it back to garage yet again and insist that they look at it - prior to this this did not happen - what is the problem

There shouldnt be any smell after a few miles of driving.The clutch seats rather quickly.I would take it back and have them take a look to see what is going on
