I have a Vauxhall corsa d, and I drove to Alton towers in it about 5 days ago. After coming back from Alton towers the day after the car felt very sluggish and started to smell abit of this burning plastic type smell. The cause of the sluggishness was a coil pack. I had the coil pack changed and the car drives normal now however I still have that burning smell of plastic can you help me

Many thanks

The smell may dissipate over the next day or so, it can be quite acrid, if your car is fitted with a cabin filter, get this checked as it may be contaminated and need changing as well.
