jimny smells hot

anyone had this , jomny runs fine but when laning at low speed or doing 65-70 on motorway , smells hot , temp gauge reads fine , levels all ok and it doesn`t overheat , just smells hot and feels warm under bonnet ???

It's normally all the mud from the lanes getting baked onto the exhaust. It's normal for it to feel warm under the bonnet- there is an engine in there!

so probably normal then , just never noticed it so much on my other 2 jimnys I`ve had

As Busta mentioned the roads are so full of water and muck at the moment more than likely all that baking on

Check that there is no oil dripping to catalysator. even very small amounts will smell like you mentioned. For some reason my car does this if it is parked not straight for a weekend. Seems that some drops of gear oil finds it's way to exhaust. The leak is very small, i check the level every year but does not need refilling. Some links on top of the gearbox are quite oily. Anyone know exact place where it is leaking?

had good look and no leaks but fins on rad are shagged so will pop in a new rad

Mine dose this only with windows open above 55 ish. Think it's exhaust leak but I cant find it.
