I've begun smelling petrolish fumes in the car, flutter has appeared as well as PSSHT and I have stock BOV on an auto ZF...maybe it's buggered!!! Will have to have it checked my coming service, didn't think about the BOV noises being related to the smell...thanks!

I checked the BOV and all seems secure . Going in for service tomorrow so we'll find out soon enough. The fuel smell is pretty annoying and I think it's getting worse. Also think I saw the old blue smoke out the rear yesterday!Looks like there's only side effects from having the BOV still installed hahaha!
