I've noticed an exhaust type smell coming into the cabin. Its not so bad when roof is on and the windows up, but its still there.
Its worse with the drivers window down, and not so bad with the drivers window up and passenger window down.
Any idea's what this could be?
Looking at the rear of the car, it looks like the exhaust pipes are not level. It recently had an exhaust fitted (before I bought it) so it shouldn't have corroded away.
I can only assume at this point that the car has been caught on a speed hump, knocked the exhaust, and thats what I can smell - a leak from underneath on the drivers side.
Anyone?

Sounds a good bet - my 4.0 had a strong exhaust smell until I took it down to the local garage and asked them to tighten everything up. My 500 now does it a bit too, though in both cases I think it's the passenger side. Manifolds bolts are an obvious thing to check - if you can get to them!
