Thanks, I was having the same problem in the Panel van, until I found it had a small gap between the barn doors.

Had a bit of a chuckle at this .. my Corvair is aircooled, and draws air over the exhaust manifolds to produce heat for the cabin (like old Type1 VW). Inevitably manifold leaks, burning oil fumes etc make their way into the cabin. When new this was enough to even scare Chevrolet to produce service bulletins to warn dealers / buyers not to drive with heater on and windows down if they smelt fumes .......... I wish the fix was as easy as a boot seal
[ I only use the heater for demisting, and then have the drivers window down so am usually rugged up ... old cars are great aren't they? ;) ] |

Rear exhaust leaks are the most dangerous.
I've towed with the boot open, only to be overcome with monoxide poisoning after a short drive. Tow with a trailer or another method, many people have died or very nearly, due to monoxide inhalation without even realising it. |
