  1. At 40+ mph with drivers window Open, car gets petrol fumes.
    Local garage can detect no leaks or other cause. No underbonnet
    smells,either.

    so at 40+ with window closed no smell?
    no smell ever under 40mph?

    Could be something simple such as an over rich mixture (are you running
    carbs?) - I sometimes got a waft of fumes from the carb when running the
    mixture too rich.

    Doh! That would be why you put "FI" in the subject!
