Hello everybody, I need help! I've had my SWB Transit Custom professionally converted recently - I collected it at the beginning of October. The interior of the van still smells 'solventy' despite using Neutradols for the last month, but the worst smell, which again smells 'solventy' is when i'm driving the van and have the windows open. The smell comes in through the drivers window and seems to heat up/worsen at speed. I've had the van washed at one of those car wash places, and when you shut the windows it is just the interior smell, which tells me it's not the odour filter or anything to do with the air con/ventilation system. The converter company is at a loss to what it is as they stated they go nowhere near the engine bay, or underneath the van - the battery is under the drivers seat. The smell is not burning a burning plastic or rubber smell at all - it literally is 'solventy' in smell. What I have noticed with the van is under speed braking the brake pedal and steering wheel do wobble more now - the ABS lamp does not light up. Any suggestions on both would really help as the smell does get to you.
