Answer 1

i would say that (no joke) that the catalytic converter is on its way out it is part of your exhaust , a bit like rotten eggs it is a box which stuff in it with helps control the car emissions i am not having a laugh honest

Answer 2

Have your pollen filter checked or changed - who ever services your car may not replace it - especially if it is not done by a Ford Dealership - It could be your Cat Converter but that is more of a rotten egg smell - the converter has gold inside them hence why they are not cheap to replace but I am sure this would have been picked up on servicing as it is part of the emissions test - if you have a faulty cat your car would fail its emissions test.
Do the simple things first like checking pollen filter if you are unsure where to check - it is usually under the shroud near to the windscreen.

Hope this helps

What do you feed him? Is he getting sufficient water? A meat and dairy wealthy weight loss plan will reason stinkier poos. Are you in basic terms noticing the stinky poo or has it continuously been this way? i've got observed the adjustments in scent from daily with my kitties. I feed them dry foodstuff and a few days the poo is stinkier reckoning on the milk pebbles interior the foodstuff. Or in the event that they consume caramels, sneak a number of my milk, cheese or if I provide them beef or moist ingredients.

what you probably have is cats marking your car with their scent, once a cat has used their teritorial scent on your car then wherever you park your car other cats will do the samethe only thing to do is spray anti cat liquid on your car especially where you can smell the scent the strongestuntil you have deterred the cats you cant get rid of smell, also spray your car with disinfectant it will help mask the smell until evaporated hopefully you wont have too long to get rid of smell. jock
