What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[David Stepney]

Had a similar experience with a broken fan belt. I thought I could smell something as I was driving along, but was unable to pull up for about a mile or so, by which time the smell had gone. Found that the fan belt had parted company at the join and had wrapped itself round the cam pulley. hence the smell. It was at this time that I found that the unidentified 'tin tray down stone steps' noise that has been part of the Seven's character was due to a seriously worn fan pulley. both pulley and belt have now been replaced. The little car now runs like a sewing machine (albeit of the industrial type.)
